Anyone else rubbed the wrong way by this? Is it the assumption that women wouldn’t know this or the broad generalization or gender essentialism? I don’t know. Man strong woman weak oogabooga? I’m not reading too much into it am I?

Confessions 4w

Too many women don’t understand that 95% of men can overpower them even if they workout every day. Women should def be carrying something. Not smart at all for women to rely on fighting or even running like im seeing people say

There’s a difference between genuinely trying to help promote the safety of women and being a condescending mansplaining asshole. This is the latter; block them and move on babe.

what’s crazy is that men will say things like this and then get mad when women are afraid of men. like yeah dumbass if you’re CONSTANTLY bringing up the fact we’re too weak to fight back im gonna be wary??

there’s definitely a weird undertone

Why are men the way that they are

Overall a wild statement. But also NO ONE should be carrying a weapon without self defense classes!!! Not knowing how to handle your weapon can make it so easy for it to be used against you and a lot of people get over confident because they’re armed and get into dangerous situations

There’s a stark difference between sheer strength and using someone’s strength against them. There are literal fighting styles that are based on that.

I mean it’s true but I also don’t care for men’s opinions so

Anonymous 3w

It sounds like bioessentialism, but sadly it is true that on average men are always stronger than women

Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head. It has such weird undertones to it. I’ve read people say this exact thing so many times and every time it’s rubbed me the wrong way every time.

OP 3w

bc it’s never ever from a place of genuine concern. no one saying these things ACTUALLY cares about protecting women. it’s all just a weird power fantasy where men get to feel like they’re soooooo big and strong. it’s gross and i hate it

men on average are stronger than women, but acting like there’s NOTHING women can do to fight back if they’re attacked/a gun is their only option is really weird. it’s not realistic for every woman to own a gun (ik i can’t) and honestly it creates this learned helplessness almost. like if you can’t have a gun nothing you do matters so why even try. women absolutely can fight and absolutely can win even without a gun, and trying to pretend like that’s not true esp coming from a man is very odd

On average, yes, you are right. However, self defense classes teach you how to effectively get away from an attacker. The original poster saying that it’s useless for women to take self defense classes or to try and fight and run from an attacker is not true or helpful. If attacked, you should do everything you can to get away. Many women are also already painfully aware that men are stronger on average. Women are not helpless just because of their gender and should try to get away when attacked
