I'm not an incel, and women intimidate me. The internet got me feeling like you're always one misunderstanding away from being canceled.
I don't see people in society acting as though women have no potential for violence and are not dangerous, merely that the average woman is less dangerous than the average man: a fact that is held up by statistics.
Fear is a normal emotion though and you're allowed to feel fear. What you're not allowed to do is let fear become phobia. If men scare you so much you can't go outside: see a therapist. You're unreasonable at that point. If women scare you so much that you are afraid of even seeing them: go see a therapist. Fear has become phobia and phobias are a dysfunction.
Anxiety and concern are normal but nobody should be supported or encouraged to feed those anxieties and fears to an unreasonable degree.
The average women is less dangerous than the average man when you take weapons and proxy violence out of the picture
How convenient that you do, as well.
90% of homicide and 80% of violent crime.
Even though women have weapons too, they're not statistically as dangerous.
I'm not talking about physical differences. I'm talking statistical differences.
As such that affects perception.
You and I might both know that we're not dangers but until all the other men do better we're statistically and perceptually in the higher risk category.
