    Please do enlighten me. Because from where I’m standing, it looks like you’ve blamed women considering the worst case scenario on some self-important role attached to their gender, and not the very basic and obvious line of reasoning that their safety is on the line.

      I can see that. I neither blame anyone, nor ascribe self-importance. Men are encouraged to disregard threats, women encouraged to take them seriously. This is an observation, not a moral judgement.

      Violence against men is statistically underreported, and they’re still the majority of reported victims. Everyone’s safety is on the line, men are just taught to disregard that risk and women are taught not to. Again, observation, not moral judgement.
