Comment on ‘Manfluencers’ are filming themselves trying to pick up women using smart glasses
poopkins@lemmy.world 1 week agoIt’s not all men, it’s a random man. And it’s not that they are dangerous, it’s about what feels riskier from a woman’s perspective.
How is that different? It’s still a prejudice based on somebody’s unalterable trait. The entire premise is a deliberate generalization to place men and wild animals into the same category.

Not all men are dangerous just like not all snakes are venomous. Knowing that some are dangerous means that I will be cautious around all of them until I’ve determined if they are the safe kind or not. The price for being wrong and trusting the wrong guy is too high.

Every individual is different and it has nothing to do with gender. My ex-wife was a toxic, manipulative, awful person who left me with decades-long psychological trauma, but I can appreciate that comparing all women with snakes is misogynistic.
