Recently, Meta Glasses have basically been rebranded as "pervert glasses," and there's a reason for that. Meta didn't put Kylie Jenner in their marketing campaign by accident. The reputation came from men using them to secretly film women. The same thing happened with generative AI. You can do almost anything with that technology, and one of the first major uses was men creating non-consensual sexual images of women. Time and time again, new technology gets turned into a tool for sexually degrading women, and overwhelmingly it's men doing it. Its men that go to violence first too often that it has to be a factor.

Women have strong reasons to be cautious around men. "Well, it's also men who protect women." Exactly. Protect them from who?

That's not the rebuttal they think—it's an admission. Our entire history has been built around the understanding that the primary threat of interpersonal and sexual violence has overwhelmingly come from other men. Fathers warn their daughters about men. Men are expected to protect women from other men. The "warrior" archetype only makes sense because everyone already understands who the danger usually is.

What I don't understand is why so many Red Pill men get offended by this reality when their own worldview depends on it. They love the "warrior in a garden" myth. Fine. A warrior against whom? It isn't women. It's other men. They know men can be violent, predatory, manipulative, and dangerous. They size up other men when they walk into a room. They lock their doors. They teach boys to defend themselves. They understand this perfectly well—right up until women say they use the exact same risk assessment, then call them misandrists or blue haired feminists.

This isn't about saying every man is dangeroud, most aren't by choice. It's about acknowledging the reality women have to navigate. Men should probably be more wary of other men too. Most already are. The difference is that when women openly admit they are, suddenly it's treated like prejudice instead of the common-sense response to thousands of years of history and the statistical reality we all already understand.

Even if you don't believe it, if you treat women as if you do believe it, it would actually help you. It would make you more empathetic which helps in understanding people. Ask yourself if you have really ever felt powerless by another human being? Not weak or humiliated but in a situation where you know the possibility of surviving the next few minutes relied entirely on if that person wants to or not. Many men have never felt that, its a really hard thing to deal with as a man. It is bigger if you know you're a big guy.

Strangely on a personal note, this is one of the things that makes transitioning feel right to me. I'm 5'11" and I've done combat sports. I know how to fight. That isn't the issue. I've still been in situations where I knew that if the other guy decided to hurt me, there wasn't much I could do. On the street there are no referees, no rules, and no guarantee you'll get a fair fight. I'd try. I'd bite, claw, do whatever I had to. But that's not what actually happens to me. In those moments I freeze, I shut down, and I hope it ends. Until you've felt that kind of powerlessness—where your safety depends almost entirely on another person's decision—it's difficult to fully understand why so many women move through the world the way they do.
