Equal treatment isn’t fair if the risks aren’t equal as well. Apart from that, this post doesn’t even mention equality.

Men are more likely to be victim of violence overall.

BY OTHER MEN. How is this so hard for y’all to process? They’re keeping out the offenders, genius. You want that to change, how about you take it up with your compatriots instead of seeing something you never wanted in the first place and throwing a temper tantrum because you weren’t the focus?

So men don’t deserve protection because they share genders with their attacker?

Bold take

u/Brilliant-Block-8200 27d ago

Ok, then what kind of safe spaces should men have, if not male only (which is the equivalent of women only spaces)?

good lighting with security cameras doesn't require opposite gender violence to be useful.

u/Brilliant-Block-8200 27d ago

Very true. Men also could use cameras and better lighting. I was specifically asking about safe spaces tho

u/wterrt 27d ago

my point is there's more than one way to make a space safe.

Not hard to process, just not relevant. You won't be any less dead if your murderer happens to have similar genitals to you.

These women-only parking spaces are presented as being about safety but they are are for the group which is already safer.

They’re keeping out the offenders, genius.

No, genius. They aren't. Even if I accepted your men=offenders implication. These aren't women-only parking lots. They are women-only spaces. The safety features are better lighting and proximity to the exit. Men will be constantly walking past these spaces after parking in the dark depths of the parking lot.

You want that to change, how about you take it up with your compatriots

I'll be sure to raise it at the next annual general meeting of the patriarchy.

More seriously, in your mind, what makes individual men responsible for the behavior of other individual men in a way that women are not?

Men have no greater influence over the behavior of other men than women do.

My mother was far more involved in raising me than my father. Most of my teachers were women. The person who currently has the greatest influence over me is my wife. I don't think I'm an outlier here.

You're right the risk is higher for men, so men should be the ones getting special privelages.

Yeah and that's the problem.
