Little thread. I'm seeing a lot of men on here claiming to be "protective" towards women, and expecting praise for it. I'm sure these men mean well, but this attitude is absolutely part of the problem. Here's why.
1. It implies that some women deserve to be protected (and also, that by definition, some don't).
2. It implies that it’s okay for men to assume responsibility (and ownership) for women. It’s not.

3. It implies that women should be grateful for the “protection” of men (and their attention).
4. It gives these men the feeling that they’re entitled to interfere with (and comment) on the behaviour of women, when they’re absolutely not.

Women shouldn't have to rely on the benevolence of men to survive. Women are neither your responsibility, nor your property. They're people, and they deserve their own space.
