Yeah, men are statistically more likely to instigate violence and men are also more likely to be the victims of other men instigating the violence.
Chances may be lower if they're Taking part in crime but that doesn't change the original point of men doing nothing wrong being more likely to being victims. .
I'm sure everyone gets slight paranoia walking around in a dark, away from public area. However I also know that even though oban more likely to be attacked, be it by some psycho or drunk asshole than a woman is, it's also less likely to happen than it is likely. That also runs true, if not moreso, for women.
As a guy, sure, I have an advantage of being stronger but as a woman they have the privilege of more likely to have numerous men help them if being attacked, which means that they have more of a defense system, maybe not directly but still
Exactly, psycho killer rapists dont advertise, and if they're intending to kill you they're likely to have a weapon, one that defeats any measurement of strength I'd have as a man.
That said, this is why self defense weapons are a thing.
Yeah except it's not usually a random masked dude jumping out of the bushes. It's your taxi driver, your doorman, your acquaintance, your friend's boyfriend's friend. As a woman it's different. It's a different world when you have to REALLY consider such risks in every little thing you do, not just walking down a dark street. As a guy you probably never think twice about getting a taxi or a ride with bros, or going to a friend's apartment after hours. You're relatively certain you won't be raped or assaulted to begin with and if anyone tried, you could probably fight them off.
Weapons in the hand of a much weaker or inexperienced person are frequently used against that person rather than aiding their defense.
Well there's cons to each side. I agree being a victim of someone whosbproviding a service or someone close to you is ahorrible thing, I don't know if attacks from such people are more likely for men or women but being a victim regardless is Shitty. It's why people should carry self defense equipment. I understand that the fear due to lack of strength is a thing but it's less likely that that a woman will be put in a situation where defense is needed. Besides, it's why god gave men balls. Gives women a fighting chance. ;)
Thing is, us guys also can have fear of these things, like women we don't know what's going to happen by who buts there's a line between caution and paranoia. If a woman, or man for that matter, do not feel safe going to someone's company then simple thing is to mot go.
I Aldo do think that the whole societal view that women should be scared plays into the paranoia some women have.
Well if a person is inexperienced and dont feel safe in society then they should practice/train to get that experience for if a situation arrives.
Is It normal to get scared while seeing a group of guys on a sidewalk
