I have no idea what there is not to understand about this…and why it’s mostly men complaining about “protecting women’s spaces”, lol.

This might upset some people, and you know what? Good.
If this upsets you, at least the others will know and the trash can take itself out.

      No one is generalizing all men. Statistically, men are a FAR greater threat to women than vice versa. Additionally, men are a far greater threat to cis women than trans women are. It isn’t even close. It isn’t something intrinsic to being a man, or all men, but it is due to a set of societal standards that value men above women.

      If you hear women being afraid of men, don’t take it personally. I am afraid of men I don’t know not because all men are dangerous, but because you cannot tell a predator by looking at them. Again, it’s not all men. No one is saying that. It’s just the vast majority of sexual predators are men, and women are statistically much more likely to be in danger from a man. I have been sexually assaulted, and I won’t spare a second thought for the idea that protecting myself might hurt another man’s feelings.

              Who’s spreading misinformation…?
              The majority of the statements I’ve seen here (not the ones from the now-banned users) have been nothing but truthful

                The person I responded to said “always a man.” If that were true then that means a woman has never been a rapist. There is plenty of evidence proving them wrong.

                  Multiple things can be true at the same time. If I use this as an example, all men being rapists doesn’t mean female rapists don’t exist.
                  They do and not all men are rapists. It’s just that the vast majority of rapists are men and the vast majority of victims are women :P

          I hope you have this same energy towards comments supporting rapists and don’t save being pedantic for women expressing anger at rape.
