Women: Do you want men to stop protecting and defending you? Is this equality?

Question

We all know you ladies wouldn't fight off some murderer who was attacking some man on the street.

Answer 1

yep..you are right..I wouldnt fight off a murderer trying to kill a guy..coz you know..like he is a guy...id just stand there...i may even egg him on...perhaps even clap...ya know coz im like evil and a woman...

ooh grr arr...

sheesh!

anyhow..now that i got that out of my system im actually a very protective person anyhow.. so yes i would try to fight off someone who was trying to murder a man on the street.

IM the one who probably wouldnt get any help!

Answer 2

Yes, I would. And the last thing I want is a protector. What am I taking martial arts lessons for, anyway?

Answer 3

Well, so far the occasion has never arisen when my husband has had to protect me or defend me, though it is quite nice to think that he would if the occasion arose.  However, in modern life this situation seldom arises, so it is not of supreme importance to me.

As for him going to the defense of someone being attacked in the street, well that is a somewhat different matter, and I don't know whether he would do that or not.  I certainly would not try to go to the defense of a man being attacked, as I would assume I would get the worst of it if I tried.  I would phone the police, but I'd let it go at that.

Answer 4

HOW do you know that? Sounds like sheer speculation to me, and thus not admissible.
