Women aren’t the only ones who feel scared when they’re alone. Men get scared too.

Yeah and men are 3 times more likely to be mugged and assaulted while walking alone at night. This is more media gynocentrism

I mean the mainstream media amps up feminist propaganda I’ve seen some stuff posted that’s factual and I’m surprised that they’ve allowed it to stay up

I have not had that experience but when you I often used ot walk hom elate at night and if you were aware there was someone or worse a group following you then it absolutely could be quite scary. The thing is however that men are properly prepared for these situations paticularily mentally whereas modern society and paticularily feminists seem to do everything they can to make the situation worse for women.

First it should be generally known that you are far more likely to be attacked by strangers as a man than a woman. This does not affect the chances of an attack but it would do much to undermine the debilitating fear that seems to afflict so many women.

Second we should give good advice to women as we do to men. The advice I received. If you can do not walk home by yourself but with a friend and whatever you feel act confident. This sor tof advice to a man is routine to a man but cause for protest and accusations of sexim if given to woman.

Third if you are attacked then encourage people toconsdier what they can do to avoid such attacks, and that unpleasant as it is, it is behind them. I have been attackd by strangers on three ocaasions. I have suffered a broken bone as a result as well as a lot of bruises but I have never considered myself as a victim or that I should lock myself away. This is much healthier and leads to a better life than emphasing vulnerabilities and constantly reliving victimhood.

Fourth we must stop treating minor inconveniences and unpleasantness as violence and the recipients as victims. Adults have ot be able to tolerate an unpleasant remark or insult without chronic anxiety and distress. It is part of life. Conflating a wolf whistle or unwanted approach with violence simply increase the fragility of women.

My experience interesting in that the three ocassions are all occasions where I am sure that a woman would not have been attacked and where the additional strengh and robustness of a man makes little difference. Nobody can do much if attacked by a crowd or if attacked without warning from behind.
