Are women afraid of men?

Question

Everywhere you look in the media, there seems to be news of women and girls being attacked and/or raped or sexually abused in some way by men. Fictional television shows and movies frequently depict women being raped or abused by men. And in our daily lives, women are constantly being talked to by men whose obvious goal is to have s*x with them. With all of this going on, it seems like women have good reason to be afraid of men.

Answer 1

I have never been scared of any man and never will. You can't live you life afraid

Answer 2

I found this question because I searched it. Recently I've been disgusted with men. I don't have a big chest (34A) but everywhere I go complete male strangers look there (and not to mention the many I never caught). It makes me so mad to see that guys care about big chests and skinny bodies and nice butts(even my brothers say this, and they said all guys think this, they just don't all admit it), which a lot of times we women can't change because that's how we're made.

It seems that men are selfish and care about their own self pleasure.over everything else. I find that guys even fake sympathy or caring just so that women can feel safe and let her guard down on that guy and then that guy is one step closer to getting what he wants.

I am so glad you posted this question, because it shows that people aren't alone in thinking this.

I'd say that women shouldn't be afraid, but more cautious and pay attention to guys. I'm more frustrated and mad myself then scared and worried. Hopefully there are guys out there who truly, TRULY care about women or their woman, and aren't pursuing or thinking about s*x and sexual thoughts most of the time. Not saying that guys aren't allowed to think about s*x or want it, but they shouldn't put those physical "needs" over the dignity of that women and themselves.

Thanks again for posting this question

Answer 3

Sometimes I am, yes. For example, if I'm walking by myself and someone is walking down the same road, it frightens me a lot more if they're male.

Men have the physical capacity to harm women far more than other women do. I don't think most men would harm women, but if a woman is going to be assaulted, it will nearly always be by a man

Answer 4

I think hearing all these violent stories in the media doesn't get to a person after a while. I wouldn't say I'm afraid of men, but I do keep the alarm on at night.

Answer 5

I would mostly have to say it depends on the girl. Also, I think it would also have to deal with how many males the female has come in contact with i.e. how many boyfriends she has had, how many brothers she has.

Males can be scary for any female though. Rather it be he may be mentally or psychically stronger, males can be intimdating.

Answer 6

There is a time and a place for everything. Good sense will tell you to fear things and people who want to harm you. The media is not real life. I've had several bad relationships, I would like to think they were the exception instead of the rule. I don't fear men but I do have a respect for what they(as well as anyone else), can do.

Answer 7

Women can also abuse men.. and often DO.

Just because it ain't on the news that DOES NOT MEAN THAT it ain't happening........

Answer 8

Men are scary creatures indeed.

Answer 9

nope not at i think their afraid of me lol :D

Answer 10

alot of women are vulnerable. not all of them.

Answer 11

women do have every right to be afriad of men they are stronger and can do alot of damage to women you never see anything about a women raping a man and it is c**p i dont see why men should even think about doing somthing so horrible and evey man is capable to do so and thats wats scares us girls thats why we are so afriad you may not see it but it is there and i wish it would be stopped instead of just ignored

Answer 12

I would be afraid too if the opposite s*x was stronger than me and they thought about nothing but penetrating me all day long. Ladies, you've got a rough road. Make sure you carry a taser.

Answer 13

Fear, is on of the four corners of the female’s psyche

It is difficult but not impossible to escape.

ANNA, RESPECT and thank you, this is what I’ve been taught to live without fear in my life

Answer 14

its not that your afraid of men, its certain men you afraid of. I have been raped by a man but I dont go around in fear of men, it only makes your life more misearable.

Answer 15

Yes we are very afraid of them that's why you may not see us roaming the streets at night. At least not by ourselves. And these images are real in fact most rape is not reported. Also look at all the missing people on billboards where do you think they are. Oh trust me anything with too much power is to be feared, we would be extremely stupid not to fear them.

Just look at all the cases of girls that go to frat parties and have a few drinks. How many of them get raped. A LOT

I don't care what people say but until scientist find a way to genetically engineer women to be equally as strong as men we need to fear them. They do whatever they want to, after all they make the laws and then they pass the judgments too.

And yes from PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH HUNDREDS OF MEN, YES THEY ARE ONLY TRYING TO HAVE s*x WITH WOMEN, NOTHING MORE. THEY, IN GENERAL, DO NOT SEE WOMEN AS ACTUAL PEOPLE. NOT ALL OF THEM OF COURSE NO OFFENSE BUT AGAIN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

I am, however, trying to not be afraid of anything but I still won't go out by myself at night, and I love the night so what does that say.
