For every guy that poses a threat, there's an army of unsavory but safe and available dudes at your whim. There are plenty of methods to vet and determine if someone is safe. They're not foolproof but if you're willing, it's still available to you. Some women post nudes to the internet and have an army of dudes trying to sleep with them. I met one woman IRL (through college, not through social media) that has a literal discord server full of men trying to get a chance to sleep with her. Mind you, she's almost 300 pounds and 5'1, arguably untouchable by most men's standards but she has no shortage of men trying to sleep with her and forking over cash for her nudes and buying her tons of shit off of Amazon.

I know plenty of women and white knights will "well ackshually" you if you make this point and try to insist that women actually have it much harder than men do in dating and accessing sex usually because of the abundance of "unwashed-ass" men or even dangerous men in the dating scene.

HOWEVER

I don't understand the point of arguing about this point or dying on this hill.

Women have easier access to sex and to potential suitors but struggle in virtually every other facet of life, INCLUDING during those romantic/sexual encounters and relationships where they're disproportionately prone to be victims of violence. Not to mention that plenty of women don't care about their access to thirsty dudes and just crave meaningful connections, and will struggle doing that because of the amount of thirsty dudes willing to feign a meaningful connection to get in bed with someone.

Men seek employment, go to school, build their careers, purchase assets and services using their wealth, start businesses, seek medical care, and never have to worry if their gender is impeding them in any way doing all of these activities and more. The only time their gender and sexuality actively work against them is when they try to date or seek out sex. There are very few avenues in which being a man actively hinders your ability to do something outside of dating or finding sexual partners.

I fully understand the point many of the dating/gender/sex discourse that's had on the internet and I think some of these conversations might be worth having. But, the "hurr durr women live life on easy mode because men will fuck anything that wears a skirt" discussion is so damn braindead that I don't understand why anyone feels the need to argue it. I don't think men are willing to trade in their ability to be understood, taken seriously, and respected for more than their appearance and genitals in exchange for access to sex with an army of dubiously safe thirsty partners that will treat you more like a sex doll than a human being.

So, my question for people that defend this assertion and die on this hill; what's the point?
