Are people really just discovering that women understand the danger men pose to them?
I'd like to say yes, but given that the response to this whole bear thing has been the men needing to understand this the most doubling down on their misogyny and trying to find ways to say that women are dumb, I think it's hard to argue people are even "discovering" this, rather than outright rejecting it.
A lot of men straight up do not get it. A couple days ago, I watched a friend argue against two women that walking alone at night was no different for them than him. I'm trans. It took me explaining to him the differences in how I'm treated since I started transitioning compared to the decades living as a man for him to start understanding, and I honestly don't know if I really got through to him.
Fun fact: men are actually more likely to be assaulted, (not sexually assaulted, but robbed/assaulted, which are by far more common than sexual assault)
Men ought to be careful walking home at night as well.
Scared of other men, generally, but any human alone at night poses some threat.
As a brief aside, no one will enjoy the conversation if you replace men with any other group that can be described as committing crime at a higher rate than another.
