    This isn’t the 1950s, Scooter. Women aren’t viewed as fragile incapable little things anymore because they never really were.

      Just so we’re clear here: you are aware that - yes even in 2024 - there is a massive gulf between the number of men assaulting (physically and sexually) women vs. women assaulting men? Do we at least agree on this clear and obvious statement based on decades of stats and studies?

      This isn’t about the capability of women. That’s a red herring if I’ve ever seen one.

        yes 80+% of violent crime is perpetrated by men. 95% of murders are done by men. 95% of all sexual violence is done by men, and this comes with the caveat that it is highly under reported.
