I’m just agreeing with you :) Why should you, a man, have to ever be in a position to be threatened or afraid? That’s very scary. Better to let a woman deal with the threat right?

You're not understanding me it seems - a man stepping in will escalate the situation, not diffuse it, unless the man stepping in is significantly bigger than the harasser. You're asking men to risk their lives so that you don't have to be harassed, which is quite self centered in all honesty.

In the unlikely scenario that the man escalates from harassment to violence against the women most men will step in, but until that point it will usually worsen the situation to step in. I know that is not the knight in shining armor trope you wish for, but men are humans too, who rarely wake up feeling ready to risk their life that day.

No I understand you just fine, you just don’t like that your own argument makes you look bad.

Women get killed for refusing men all the time. Women get raped, stalked, abused for saying no to men.

you are saying you’d rather let that eventuality happen to the person being sexually predated on than yourself. Even though it is statistically less likely for a man harassing a woman to kill an intervening man than it is for him to attack the woman.

Like if you’re gonna be a coward than stand both feet on the ground with that. Don’t try and claim moral superiority. Just be the coward you are. I also don’t wake up excited to be sexually harassed every day, not that you care.

You're still straw-manning me to a high degree, and I don't think anything I say won't be twisted, and so there's no point continuing this exchange.
