A man in a room full of women would be terrified that they would claim he sexually harassed them or that he would get #metoo'd.

Being honest I would be more scared of being the only person in that room that is different. I don’t see how this can be only one way around. ( first post on here sorry if formatting is wrong )

Firstly, I've had experiences in the past working / attending classes with mostly female co-workers or supervisors / classmates, and my feelings were far from ecstatic about the situation

I have personal reasons for feeling uncomfortable around strange women, but even then it's presumptuous to assume all men enjoy being around women. Whether it's concern of being harassed or of being falsely accused of harassment, there are plenty of men who are uncomfortable being alone with women

The other way, assuming women don't like being around men, is also presumptuous, as I know there are women who have mostly male friends or who say things like "I hate working with other women"

But that aside, even if this were entirely true or mostly true, that doesn't indicate men being dangerous as much as

women being being taught to fear, to a degree of paranoia
prejudice stereotypes about men that presume all men are predators

E.g. if a White person said he was terrified of being around Black people, would people say "that goes to show how dangerous Black people are" or "that goes to show how prejudice this White person is against Black people"?

Lol. Feminism is the reason those women are terrified.

I am of a military background, there have been instances where there were a bunch of us guys in a room with one of our female co workers or friends, suffice to say there was no one in the room more protected than her.

I’m a 17 year old female (legally emancipated from parents)

I’m not a “tiny” person, but I don’t have the muscle groups for fighting and I’m not tall.

I typically don’t feel scared around men. Typically, because there’s occasions where MEN feel scared around men. (Likewise with women, there’s times when men feel scared of women. When women feel scared of women. When men SHOULD be scared of women. When women SHOULD be scared of men. Etc) Be safe, but you don’t have to be paranoid. Feminism makes women paranoid. Feminism propagates lies. Feminism makes people comfortable believing lies.

On the part where it says a guy in a room of women feels ecstatic, sure, maybe a guy. I’m a lesbian, and I still say hell no if I was in that position. Girls and women alike are incredibly mean to each other, not usually men mean to women.

I feel a wide range of emotions around women, because I am a human being. The author of that meme seems to have trouble grasping that concept.

They need to talk to bar staff about bachelorette parties.

I would be more irritated then ecstatic. Have you ever been the only man in a room full of women? It’s not an enjoyable experience.

I'd be terrified in a room full of anything.

Puppies? Who the fuck put all these puppies in here?! Why am I the only human?! AM I A PUPPY?!?!

That’s so dumb to think there’s something wrong with that nervous feeling she gets being in a room full of men. That’s normal. That’s her gut feeling and of course it is. We’re stronger and could hurt her, but we’re educated and don’t do it. It’s okay to have that gut feeling, just shut the fuck up about it.

Thinking there’s something wrong with that feeling is just stupid. That’s life. Tough.

If I go into a cage of trained lions, my gut will make me nervous. You should never expect the lions to change how they make me feel. There’s no tinkering to be done there. I don’t give a fuck how trained the lions are, the rules are lions are bigger than me so my gut is gonna make me nervous.

The only way to eliminate that feeling would be if men weren’t bigger than women. So, tough shit. Move along.
