This is interesting. I feel like from a man’s standpoint the only thing we really fear , for ourselves, is either losing our lives or own property. At worse we’ll either be tortured or enslaved or whatever. For women however there are much worse horrors awaiting if the invaders don’t follow a strict moral code. If I were a woman I wouldn’t accept pacifism in any capacity as I would be the one more likely strip of bodily autonomy in a worse case scenario.
- yucky 4y agoThat's an odd viewpoint, considering that in every war ever, the majority of victims are men. Women are raped, absolutely and that's awful. Men are generally seen only as a threat so they are killed (if they're lucky), or tortured and then killed. Your comment reminds me of the campaign a few years back to bring attention to the horrible fact that 1 in 4 homeless people were women. The irony of course being that nobody gave a shit about the other 75% since they were men.
- Jcowell 4y agoI think from my perspective, I would rather be tortured and killed than raped and killed. To me it’s similar to walking on the street at night. Sure they’re are victims of all sexes in the night but, as a man, the most I have to fear averagely is being robbed and then shot. A woman has much more things to fear than a man does walking at night. But that doesn’t invalidate the victims of other crimes and of other sexes in the night.
- yucky 4y agoThe majority of violent crime victims are men though. Also, your war comparison doesn't work since the percentages of men tortured and killed, to women rape and killed, isn't close. Very few women are killed compared to men in war, and on the street as well.
