Men actually do know how dangerous other men can be

You can tell how little they trust other men by how they react when their female relatives try to date one. It's become a meme, how older brothers are supposed to act like possessive brutes towards their sister's boyfriend, and how fathers are supposed to threaten their daughter's boyfriend with a shotgun, and how sons don't want their moms to date, because they all know who men truly are, especially towards women.

It really comes out when men start talking about restricting their daughters activities because they "know what men are like"

Men are like "not all men" but also, if I have a daughter, I will protect her.....

Protect her from what????

Men????

Men also never call out a psycho who’s sniffing women’s hair on the bus or the train. Even if the weirdo is skinny as hell. Why? Because it’s none of their business (remind me again why men are seen as protectors?) and they don’t want to be stabbed or worse. Men know. We know. But when you cross the street to avoid walking near them at night, they all turn into cry babies and the gaslighting begins.

Holllyyyy shit this is spot on idk how I never thought of it before!!

Phoenix__Rising2018 · 2021-08-23T23:51:43+00:00

Yes they do. That's why they never get involved when other men are going crazy.

The "Joke" about dads meeting their daughter's date while holding a shotgun... They know, they all know.

Whenever I get those low tier “prank” videos on my FYP it’s always almost exclusively the dudes approaching women (often woc) to “prank” them. They know if they tried that shit on a man they would get intimidated. Ex: saw one video where a guy just went up to random women sitting and laid his head in their laps.

I hate what I'm about to say, but this is what I've heard from the kind of negative-value man who dismisses women's fears of sexual assault: it's different when it happens to men. (That's what they say, not what I think.)

Mumble mumble vagina exists to accept dick, anus does not. Mumble mumble.

As if women never get anally raped. As if that's the entirety of the difference, and not, you know, the horror of being impregnated by a rapist, something men will never, ever grok.

But these men are either too stupid to understand, or, more likely, they want to validate their own fears while dismissing women's.

Men be like: of course a woman can’t compete with a man physically in such and such sport.

Also men: wE alL hAvE tO wAtCH oUR BaCks

I’m tired or the constant paranoia and reminders though.

My dad doesn't understand feminism but always warns me about the danger of other men. Once I jokingly asked "But what about women?" and he was like "Don't be silly, no way a woman will try to mug or r*pe you".

And zero of my homophobic relatives ever told me "Your skirt is too short, it can attract some predatory lesbians, go change!".

My ex boyfriend learned how reactive and dangerous men really can be the hard way. Invited a strange man and his girlfriend TO MY HOUSE because “I wanted us to have couple friends and they seemed nice” (everyone of them had been drinking and met on the bus??), smiled at the guys girlfriend and ended up with a broken jaw, surgery, head trauma, body trauma and infection. Just what my front lawn needed.

Correct

Men are cowards.

Proof. All the men fleeeing to Kabul airport to escape the Taliban (a legion of men who are batshit crazy.)

Did they take their women and children? Their mothers, wives and sisters? HELL NAW

They only roll out the "but I only want to protect you" when they want to control you.

I'm reminded of Mick Jagger's anger when his daughter started dating a much older man. She wasn't a lovestruck teenager though. She was a 27 year old dating a 45 year old. A few years later Jagger fathers a child by a woman in her late 20s and he is in his 70s. Men are so hypocritical.

Or when it comes down to a dude dating their daughter, sister or mother.

These scrotes know, but since you’re nothing to them, they don’t care. Unless it impacts them directly.

I've got something really sad to share. A male cousin of mine went to prison and he got raped in there. He got out, got into trouble and was going to get sent back in. So he hanged himself. Prison is a brutal place and most people who end up there have been abused in their childhoods. Men are absolutely afraid of going there and I'm sure it's not pleasant for women either. They come out much worse than when they went in.

This is a great comparison, I love it!
