I read it, there was some dumb shit though.

Like this one guy who was 6'5 300lbs saying he never feared being assaulted and called it male privilege.

I mean let's ignore that men are the most likely to be assaulted by a stranger, and if a woman is assaulted a guy like him is the most likely one to step in.

It must be so exhausting to constantly believe that every man is a threat to you.

There is one long thread about women's fear in public. This one drives me absolutely nuts every time it's brought up. It is a fact that women are far less likely to be victims of violence in public than men. It's been true since they started collecting data on the subject. The only reason that women have this fear is because activists and the media have essentially fear-mongered for decades about it. It's not a rational fear, even for men unless you're in a very high crime area and rather than sympathizing, we should be holding those responsible to account for spreading a completely false narrative about women's vulnerability in public.

There was more wrong with that thread than there was right. Every single comment about a way that men have it rough was followed with "but what about the women" in some way.
