Because you're a man or because you're human and doing a threat assessment? It's not the same thing. Women are targeted for being women. You are not single out

- scotty79 4y agoI suspect that if I was >6ft man built like a brick my threat assesment migh be less anxious. Women, I think, are often not specifically targeted for being women but rather for being small and weak. Like I could be. I don't argue that women have it worse. I just think it's quantitative difference not qualitative. Women might be more prone to be victims of sexual violence because there's more straight men than gay men but the rest of their risks comes from sexual dimorphism that makes them smaller, weaker and slower on average. Also men are on average more accepting towards violence aginst men so this increses danger for potential male victims.
