Re: ~omg men dont know what its like to walk through a rough area

You actually kind of defended the argument with your last sentence? If men are taught to give very little consideration to their own welfare they don't experience the same kind of fear conditioned into women. So men might actually experience violence more but women are conditioned to be hyper-aware and fearful of vulnerability as an almost constant whereas it might not cross a man's mind until it has to. So the genders do have unique experiences in the same situation.

Not to mention these feminists are most likely talking about fear of rape and resulting victim-blaming which is a separate issue from fear of robbery and assault.

Yeah, all of this. And even in the case of non-sexual attacks, it's not men who get chided for daring to be in a sketchy neighborhood without male protection or pepper spray or a big dog or or or.

Yep, and IME in the case of non-sexual attacks the focus tends to be on telling women they're lucky they weren't raped and told they're lucky they learned a lesson the easy way.
