      If I was in the middle of a large and dense forest and saw a random woman, I’d assume she was either a witch or it was a trap

      That’s because even a weak man can still easily overpower a woman. A single woman is not nearly as big a threat to my physical well-being like a man would be to a woman. She would need some kind of weapon or suprise attack or some kind of thoughtful planning to get the better of me while a man can just have a change of mood and boom – woman is in trouble.

        Fortunately it’s not like we live in a country where there are more guns than people

        Because if that were the case then it wouldn’t make sense to only fear certain people

          You might, but we don’t.

            American is the norm here. Not everyone is American. But most are.

            Weird that you take offense to that but don’t take offense to dehumanizing 50% of humanity

              Recognizing that people have different experiences than you, something to appear to struggle with, is not dehumanizing 50% of humanity.

                Plenty of white Christians are afraid of people who are black and/or Muslim. Accordingly they likely would prefer to encounter a bear rather than a person who is black or Muslim

                Is that acceptable? After all, those white Christians likely just “have different experiences” than you or I. We should respect that, right?

                Also, if men are scary and bad, then immigrant men are scary and bad. If immigrant men are scary and bad then we should stop “letting them in.” Aka, this entire rage bait is a right wing scheme to stigmatize immigrants and national minority groups by using “feminism” as a pretext

                  It’s so convenient when people come out and say “I am not worth listening to or trying to have a rational conversation with.” Saves a lot of time.

                    You disagree that this “meme” furthers right wing xenophobia and racism? George Floyd likely disagrees. As do the innocent men that Fox News claims are coming to kill us in “migrant caravans.” It’s also this logic that allows Israel to get away with claiming they killed a Hamas fighter when they actually just murdered a 10 year old boy

        Wow, that’s… really sexist against both men and women. I hope you don’t really think that any man can suddenly have a mood change and then overpower any woman.

        That’s disrespectful both to the man’s humanity and the woman’s strength

      I would feel just as nervous but I do admit my history plays I big part of that
