This is obviously very upsetting. But I’d also like to know what y’all’s answers would be to the question on this meme. This is not something I advocate for I’m going to be transparent about that, I’ve just noticed things like this a lot on the internet and want to gain some perspective.

    I agree and think it should be emphasized that the whole Man vs Woman aspect is a red herring.

    I’m not going explode the skull of a child that is trying to hit me in the balls. At the absolute worst I’ll give the kid a firm shove to demonstrate that I’m not fucking around, and more likely I can just harmlessly pin them down without much of a struggle.
    Conversely if a massive bear of a man grabs me by the throat I will resist however I can with no regard for his life or well-being, because it’s my only hope of survival if he’s as hostile as he seems.

    Sex/gender, age, these things don’t matter. Size and ability matter. Treat each danger for threat that it is. Anything else is just stupid gender war bait.
