Stop Telling Women How to Not Get Raped

239. You see, that's twisting the logic

I am a man, and although not huge and intimidating, im a pretty good size guy. And there streets in my city that I would not dare walk down on my own. Would it be nice to be able to walk down that street and not have to worry about looking over my shoulder for some criminal looking to mug me? Of course. That's how it should be. But that's not reality. And I understand and accept that. Sometimes I wonder if police themselves are afraid of these places by how they respond to calls.

It has nothing to do with women and patriarchal values. But I recognize the fact that women are more likely to be more vulnerable than I am. If I am attacked, I have a reasonably fair chance of being able to fight the attacker off because I have the physique and muscle mass. Mother nature did not create men and women equal in this regard. That's just the way it is. Men are typically bigger and stronger than women. Most women do not have a reasonably fair chance of fighting off or escaping a male attacker unless they are skilled in self defense strategies that utilize the abilities that they do have.

In my view, giving women these skills to be able to defend themselves is liberating. Because they are able to defense themselves and not have to rely on a man to do it for them.
