    I saw that post earlier and had to close Lemmy… All the misogynists came out of the woodwork for that one.

      I used to troll Reddit Nazis this way years ago. It was funny to see them twist themselves into knots trying to justify why we shouldn’t do to men what they were advocating doing to racial minorities.

      Okay but seriously, despite being only 49% of the population, men commit almost 90% of all murders. And that’s not arrests, that’s convictions. The vast majority of serial killers, abusers, and so on are men. By far the more violent and dangerous demographic.

        I wonder how much of that is just because men are bigger and stronger, most of the time. Like, if women were the larger and more powerful sex would the odds be different? As it stands, men being bigger and stronger means women being scared of a man attacking them is entirely rational.

        Like absent any discussion of social conditioning or patriarchal norms or history or statistics just on a raw analysis of size and strength it seems that yeah, fairly reasonable and not “misandry” for women to worry about a man doing something bad to them. Even if the odds of an attack from a man or a woman were 100% equal the man would be the more dangerous attacker.

          Most murders in the US are done with handguns. I’m sure even out of shape women are totally capable of committing murder.

          Even considering size, there’s a huge overlap between women and men in size. Plenty of men are the height and weight of an average woman. But they don’t seem to be as fearful of walking alone and they aren’t significantly less likely to commit murder themselves. It’s a complex situation, but I think the biggest factor is the relationship between violence and patriarchy.

            No, not at all. A trained fighter would absolutely crush me. I was just musing on how it’s not misandry in the original post and I think I articulated it poorly.

      I really don’t understand the people who got mad about it and tried to dunk on women with statements like “hurrr don’t you know bears are dangerous and grizzlies eat you alive???”
      Wow, bears are dangerous? Somebody should have told me.
      It’s the same energy as anti-communist dipshits going “vivizel 10 million billion stalins”

      dotworlders might be even more regressive than the median redditor tbh

      I think it’s because dotworld attracted the core reddit fundamentalists (white cishet techie xillenial men with shitty humor) more than any other demographic when the third party clients went down and basically no one else

    How many women are randomly killed by women when walking at night? Of course her primary concern is if a man will murder her.

      Not to mention that ‘murder’ can be substituted with a cornucopia of awful verbs in that sentence.

      I feel a lot of internal conflict thinking on the one hand that men are far too violent and aggressive and need to be socialized differently, and on the other hand that I want to personally rip limb from limb the men who feel entitled to physically assert themselves on women. We started with curious wolves long ago and ended up with border collies doing that once, maybe it would work again.

    I’m a cis man and I would watch vulnerable women kick men in the balls all day long.
