Reminds me of what certain men say about women with bright dyed hair. That they are a signal to stay away like colorful frogs in South America.
As it has been pointed out, the reason those frogs are colorful has nothing to do with dating. It's to ward of predators

And what do those colors signify to predators? That the frog is highly toxic and they'll live longer if they stay away.

It says, "I am non-compliant to predation" - in frogs.
Some marks are always easier than others. Human predators look for people that ignore their discomfort when boundaries are pushed or lack assertiveness or value being part of a collective more than themselves.WHAT I ACTUALLY FIND FASCINATING about rebellious markers of "woman bad", is that they tend to follow Punk Rock trends. Anti-establishment music has led the way in fashion and rebellion to an extent that shouldn't be overlooked! Including the septum piercing, it was a rocker thing first.

Are you referring to like if they raped you and then like a day later- with no threat- you went and killed them?

But, if you are saying that a women who is being raped and is being threatened with death simply had a gun and shot them (while the person is threatening to kill them), you are just making stuff up. That is not true. You are allowed to defend yourself if there is threat of death or serious bodily injury- regardless of gender.

This has uhhhh..... nothing to do with our conversation? Plus, ALL of these are from New York, and it's getting close to a DECADE ago that they changed their laws to give much more ability for self-defense in domestic violence cases. You're about seven years late, lil bro. We were discussing rape, not physical assault- those are different. Tanisha Davis was undeniably an unfair case. Not sure, maybe you haven't even looked into these cases, but that was a case where she was sentenced primarily due to racism, not sexism. The prosecutor called her a, "Hood Diva," and said it is, "their culture." Literally disgusting, but a case like these can't happen anymore, due to them changing their law. Maybe we should be asking why New York has such restrictive use of lethal force in self defense?

Obviously a cop is going to bring someone in to the place for questioning. That is the case regardless of the gender. If a guy shoots a woman in self-defense the cops are going to bring him to the station. Cops do NOT have the ability to send someone to prison on their own. Cops also usually donāt have the ability to clear a case on their own. Usually you have to go to court to speak your case and have it dropped. Commonly in front of a grand jury

u/Meatbot-v20 10d ago
Sure. My point is that, without any legal system, human history was just tens of thousands of years of families selling young girls into marriage.
That says nothing about whether or not the system can be improved. I don't think I've ever been sex-pested, but I have had a girl yank my pants off and go to town without asking.
And I'm somewhere in the aro/ace/demi part of the spectrum, so it's not like I was asking for it. I just felt like it would be weird if I said "no". These things happen.
But at least it happens less often than it ever has in human history. Well. In some parts of the world, anyhow.

Just because I don't make a big deal about it doesn't mean it's okay or anything. So I get it. But it's not like someone stabbed me. Subjectively speaking, it's not even a blip on the radar of worst things that have happened to me. It was awkward and I'd rather it hadn't happened, but it's only as big a deal as I let it be.
As a guy, we kind of grow up with the comedy trope of regrettable / nonconsensual sex. Like, every college humor movie, the drunk protagonist wakes up in someone's bed and doesn't know how he got there. Haw haw haw. Hollywood says it's funny when it happens to guys. So I guess I just don't have to spend a lot of emotional bandwidth on it.

u/Tablesafety 11d ago edited 11d ago
6% that's how much stronger the average man is than the average woman. In a straight on melee range fight without the element of surprise, she loses outright. He is faster, harder to genuinely injure, and has more reach on average. So notable is this difference that if he keeps going after she backs off or lands a blow in the wrong spot, he can accidentally kill her. Generally to achieve the same results that has to be intentional on her end.
Were the gap as close as you are trying to say it is, we would have a LOT more men accidentally murdered in an instance of domestic violence and self defense. Weapons outside of melee range or the element of surprise equalizes the playing field, but then you have a whole other issue in that killing someone even in self defense is a lot of legal trouble- and a lot of self defense isn't seen as such.
In events of harassment wherein things fly just under the legal radar, the best you can get away with is pepper spraying a bastard and hoping it's not assault in the relevant jurisdiction. If you swing at him, all you're gonna get is a chance to die unless there are other people around who would be willing to step in and help defend you should he escalate.
Because murder isn't acceptable and there is no real way to just fight it out safely, there are no real options that I have found so far to suitably and mortally-safely introduce an aversive to deter those who harass and skirt the line.

u/BethanyBluebird 11d ago edited 11d ago
This is just straight up misinformation... On average men have about 40 to 60% more upper body strength than women, and about 20% more lower body strength. That is nowhere near 6x. That's 0.5x stronger, on average. According to you, if a woman has 100 points in strength on average that means men have 600 points.. this is false. I'm reality it's closer to women having 100 points on average and men having 150.
Humans are less sexually dimorphic than dogs, and a large amount of that gap can be attributed to women eating less on average because we are encouraged to starve ourselves to stay small, and not participating in more active/high impact sports because, again, it's discouraged. More men aren't murdered in domestic violence incidents because women who are abusive have generally been conditioned to avoid physical violence and be abusive in less overt ways- financially, psychologically, emotionally, etc.

Most of the time it is in fact nurture. Some of the time it is in fact nature. That is to say, most of those guys that feel entitled to sex and what they feel is necessary to get it due to how society has framed sex and their relationships with masculinity and themselves. The sex pest stuff is mostly porn and nurture for the vast majority, but as long as what is normal and acceptable does not change they will not either.
Then for some, rarer folks it is nature. Temperament is heritable, we know that the offspring of a violent rapist is more likely to be unstable themselves (not guaranteed!) even without the offending parent in their life. Human beings are mostly nurture, though. Our intelligence allows us to understand and circumvent our own impulses, if we want to. We gotta want to, though.
Have you heard about the troop of bonobos that had some very toxic alpha males not unlike chimps? I think it was Bonobos. They led the troop and generally were impulsive, violent, competitive, and unpleasant. They all died at once when they insisted on eating some garbage they competed with each other over that the females and subadult males of the troop did not eat (bc it was THEIRS iirc)
Once all the toxic alpha males died out, the older adolescent males began to mimick their behavior and the adult females nipped it in the bud very quickly and punished them while they still physically could. They straightened up and from there, the babies of either sex born from then on did not display the assholish problematic behavior. Last I checked that troop still lives in peace. In great apes, its mostly learned.
All it takes is some assholes who force their views on the population under them and throw their weight around taking over one time and it is self-perpetuating. Might makes right and if someone who has might doesn't fight for what is objectively right, those more nefarious set norms that become societal expectations.
All it would take to ruin those bonobos peace is for a troop of enough of those old kind of males to just come and physically threaten them all into submission again, and there would be native males to get in on it due to the social benefits.

u/Melanoc3tus 8d ago
Strength isn't the only factor in combat yeah; it's generally quite important but that varies by context.
So back to the topic, strength training alone doesn't seem very promising ā there are pretty innate biological aspects to that disparity, which are what the sexist tropes are taking inspiration from; if those expectations were removed (which I support) then the problem would remain.
We could speculate that a culture where martial arts was a widely popular women's pastime and generally unpopular among men might address this more.
However I think a culture where the threats women would want to defend themselves against were less normalized would be as or more achievable, and better.

u/Dry_Shoe1307 8d ago
as a woman i've used pepper spray to defend myself in the past and it's worked. i also own a glock (never needed it fortunately). my (male) cousin owns a BJJ academy and he says that the trained women can submit many of the lower ranking men, and that it works for self defense against untrained men. he's a black belt now but when he was training he did get submitted and tapped by women
1
u/Melanoc3tus 8d ago
We agree on all of that. But, I'd sayĀ militarizing society isn't necessarily the best outcome. The solution to violent crime is better social norms, economic policy, and state regulation, not privately imported AKs ā similarly in the context of sexual assault, regardless of gender, we should make this a matter of social convention and state intervention rather than a private physical competition which men have a biological and institutional lead in.

u/Fickle-Strike-714 8d ago
The thing is in BJJ I'm pretty sure you can't strike. In a real altercation you can stack the odds against an opponent, but there's always windows of opportunity for a man to overpower a trained woman. Even a male champion fighter in a lighter weight division vs a heavier man with only strength training would absolutely have certain positions where raw strength would overpower technique

Technically speaking there is something wrong with killing a rapist as an act of self-defense.

I'm not a lawyer, if you want to debate about it. In my understanding, a scared and shocked woman doesn't think strategically nor can she carefully measure the force necessary to stop the rapist, and adequate laws/judge/jury should account for that.Ā

Most information on bugs is misinformation as most of the behavior we see from them is when they're in captivity. All animals act differently in captivity.

Itās also crazy that most of these species would be extinct if males didnāt have a strong sex drive

stop fucking antropomorfying animals. It doesn't help a point that should be able to stand on its fucking own.
You are just mudying the watter with misinformation about animal behaviour.

Idk if taking animal kingdom as an example is valid, there are some species where tha male has an harem or where the male kills the babies of other males just so the female ovulates again. Also many examples here are of insects that are not famous for delicacy or ethics, you do not want to make a point, you are just angry at some man in your life.
But idk.

Considering the females in a lot of these examples are much larger and stronger than the males I'm not quite sure its message you think you're giving.
I'm pretty sure you don't want to promote the idea of the larger sex violently mauling/eating the smaller sex whenever they feel like it.

Now stop asking āwhere have all the good men gone?ā Theyāre the ones steering clear.

Given the fact that octopuses have been known to punch fish who annoy them, this doesn't relly surprising.

lol this could be interesting if you expand it to other animals.
For my next relationship I shall move in on that single mom with 3 kids like a lion and kill her cubs off and then proceed to make my own the male mallard way. What? Its only nature and it's highly effective for them.

Let's not talk about lioness...
a lioness bites the balls of the lion when she wants to mate as a way to coerce him into breeding her. The male often tries to move away by the female doesn't allow it. As we all know, this is sexual assault. SA in the Animal Kingdom has never been just Male on Female and it's the same case for SA in humans.

It is impossible for a male praying mantis to ejaculate with its head intact. They do it anyway. It's not a thought process that you could sum up with a cutesy comic. To "relate" to the instinctual behavior of insects says nothing about the insects involved, it's just role playing for humans
