    Everything you’ve listed is an absurd over statement.

    often attack men over women, or their ego, or their fragile state of mind has been disrupted momentarily or whatever other trivial reason men feel justified attacking people.

    This is simply not the reality I live in. I’ve never known someone to attack someone over a woman, nor their fragile state of mind?

    Driving in my car = men are more likely to participate in road rage At work = men are more likely to commit violence at work than women At home = men are most likely to break and enter occupied homes In public = men are most likely to be the perpetrator of a public mass shooting public shooting.

    I’ve certainly never experienced any of this and while mass shootings and robberies do occur they’re so rare that being a victim of such a crime is not a tangible risk.

    Honestly you’re more likely tripping over your shoelace and dying than any of these things actually happening.

      Ladders. Ladders are the #1 killer. And stupid shit on top of that, like taking something down from a high shelf.

      You are arguing crime isnt common, I’m arguing that WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN its done by men.

      Since this is a conversation about who commits violence most often, it doesnt make sense to appeal to the fact that most people rarely encounter violence.

      For the record, I agree, people shouldn’t be worried in general about this stuff. For those that are in situations where they are at risk, they should be careful around men, period.

      Are you arguing its stupid for a women to take preventative measures or protect themselves in all cases?

        I’m arguing that the risk is so minimal that no one bothers mitigating it.

        I might get shot today, yet I’m not wearing a ballistics vest.

          That seems to be mostly true for men at least. Not really for women. So far at my workplace, its the women that have had stalkers and unwanted physical advances, not the men.
