I don't know, walking through a strange city at night I'd rather be a man than a woman.
Statistically speaking, you'd be in more danger as a male. But you do you, and enjoy the "feeling" over statistical reality.
I'm not sure that's true. Well, it may technically be true, but it's very misleading, as I recall. Men are more often the victims of violence, but it's a very specific subset of men, so it's not fair to apply that to randos walking around at night. Those are two completely different scenarios, and you can't plug one into the other.
Assuming AoV isn't a gangbanger, he may very well be safer as a man walking around a strange neighborhood than he would be as a woman. Gangster on gangster violence drastically skews the perceived statistical danger levels of men, as I recall.
Not saying definitively either way - I haven't looked into it - just saying that statistics can, and often are, very misleading.
You're far more likely to be murdered as a man.
No, seriously, on every you're safer as a woman.
The reason the narrative is pushed is only because people care about "woman in danger" whereas they don't care nearly much about "man murdered".
Agreed. Men are more likely to be murdered or otherwise have street violence committed against them than women are. Those stats are clear.
My point is, what men are those? Is the violence by and large random? Is this representative of your everyday man? Because, from what I recall, it wasn't. The majority of that violence was gang-related. The men affected were mostly involved in that life, not random unaffiliated men.
So, again, I totally agree statistically men are more likely to be murdered or attacked. But is a normal man more likely to be assaulted walking a city at night than a normal woman is? I'm not convinced of that. The stats are largely skewed by young men voluntarily engaging in dangerous shit that leads to them getting attacked.
And, for the record, I'm not 'victim-blaming' or anything. Men have plenty of terrible things done to them by society, and are largely treated badly. I'm not trying to sweep any of that under the rug; men have issues, men can use support and, yes, in many, many ways women have it easier. But I also believe in accuracy, and I don't think what you're implying is an accurate read of the data I've seen. You're not talking men in general, you're talking that specific subset, when it comes to street violence, and that throws off the stats big time.
There also is the fact that women are more likely to be too scared to walk around at night in a bad neighborhood, whereas I've done it before without second thought.
It's men between 16 and 25 iirc, I remember citing that statistic in a law class and the danger haired thundercunt behind me being pissed that the lecturer backed me up, good times
I really doubt that. Sure, if you look at overall crimes, which includes all the people looking for trouble, but if you're just minding your own business, I'd much rather be a guy than a girl.
Bad argument, girls have never minded their own business
Your incredulity is worthless though. You can choose to doubt it, but it won't change the statistics.
Statistics don't account for who is minding his own business, and who is not.
Why would someone randomly choose to attack me and not a woman?
The majority of violence perpetrated against women it's by intimate partners or people otherwise known to the woman.
Men are far more likely to the victim of random assault by strangers
The danger that women face in that situation is a byproduct of their inherent sexual and reproductive value, and that value is precisely why they play on easy mode in countless other situations.
I mean, unless you don't have another option, that's just kind of dumb. I wouldn't want to wander those same areas as a man, although admittedly I'd be under different threats than the woman.
Still, it's just being dumb. Dumb women still have it easier than dumb men, I'd say.
Well, I like to visit places, and make good use of my time.. I do try to avoid unsafe areas as much as possible, but I'm pretty sure I'm safer as someone who can somewhat defend himself and who is not of any interest to rapists.
I thought you once suggested on the subreddit that you're a woman, or did I take that wrong?
You just like to think everyone is a woman, don't you? Kidding but, no, I've never said I'm a woman, and I've said I'm a man multiple times. And I'll state for the record, again: I am a man.
Women can defend themselves, too. Via training and/or carrying firearms or similar. Also, as a man, you're still potentially of interest to muggers and the like, or just hooligans who want to start some shit.
THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL ME! I don't trust you! You're just playacting in order to strike when the time is right!
In all seriousness, interesting how much you still miss despite having to pay close attention to a sub.
I mean... none carry firearms (this is Europe), nor are many capable of any form of serious self-defense.
Of course. But women are targeted by muggers as well, possibly more so because they cannot defend themselves. And they have the added bonus of being targeted by rapists.
Especially if the city is "diverse". But then a man probably isn't going to have a good time doing that either.
How often do you really walk through a strange city at night though?
Comparatively, how often do you have to compete against others for a seat at the table? How often would you like to receive an automatic boost in your position and income for doing nothing of value at all, before you don't care so much about randomly walking around strange cities anymore?
Do they though? I think there are small number of women and blacks who get boosted for their gender and race, and a large number who get screwed over just like the rest of us.
If you're an attractive woman, sure, there are some benefits you can get from that? But to simply assume that female means automatic boost to position and income?
People can always squander their advantages. Tall men are statistically advantaged, but some tall men fail. The advantages will not do everything for you, they just make everything easier.
If you're black and can get halfway decent grades, you will get into a MUCH better college than an equivalent white or asian would. This boosted college in turn opens doors for your employment opportunities, which are ALSO boosted. The fact that most blacks choose not to avail themselves of these benefits is 100% their own fault.
The same is true for women. Plenty of women do not put in the effort to learn how to dress, put on makeup, and stay in decent shape so they can maximize their power over men. All these women are doing is squandering their advantages. If they hard mode it and still succeed, good for them.
This vapid bitch in the OP is already a highly attractive woman by internet standards, when she puts in the effort. She can also look homely when she does not. I'm sure when she started streaming, she thought that just being a decent looking "gamer girl" would mean automatic success and riches. She felt entitled. And then it turned out that even though she has huge advantages, at the BIG TIME, you need to have more, you need to actually be able to make better quality content, which she fails at, so she hit her little "glass ceiling".
Then she decided to cheat and bought a silicone tit mold online and wore it on stream to look MUCH hotter than she actually is, and - GASP - EASY MODE ACTIVATED, TURBO MODE. and so she doubled her subs. A man would have had to actually sit down and think about how to make better content, and then to work on it to slowly build a following. This chick can bypass all that with a little purchase and trickery.
Correct. This is what I always point out to wokies who claim 'discrimination'. Even if it were true that blacks are treated worse by police when they resist arrest, which is dubious at best, that only affects the people who choose to act like that.
Yes, but that was not what I was disputing. I'd rather have more safety than a small chance of being better at whoring myself out on Twitch.
