If someone is judged as threatening based on their gender, they have been wronged. And what do you mean "stop making it about yourself"? Did they ask to be judged in the first place?
I have friends that get read as women who can't do stuff that would be completely normal for any cis male (like going to a festival alone) because there is a real possibility of them being assaulted, murdered or at the very least getting harassed. And even if it is only one in a hundred men that would do such things it doesn't matter if the other 99 do nothing to stop it.
I never said that no man ever is affected by violence but when nine out of ten women got sexually assaulted or harassed and that startimg from a young age, all the while the majority of men don't seem to have problems being friends with these abusers it should be no surprise that many women will try to stay safe.
So what you're saying here is that men are so dangerous and violent as a whole, that men need to protect themselves from the dangers of other men...
But women should stop taking precautions around men and stop constantly complaining about not wanting to get raped and murdered by men, because not all men are violent rapists and it hurts mens feelings?
