I understand your feelings here. I hate having to bring self-defense items just to go on a nighttime hike because statistically speaking, men prey on women more than women prey on men. It's just a sad fact. Men are more violent and unpredictable in their behaviors than women, so it makes it hard for me to trust them if they are strangers. I also hate how some men look at women as being weak simply because we are women. That irks me. There are women that can do traditionally 'manly' things better than many, many men. I also feel like all men do is judge us by our looks whenever we go out in public, but men get to be judged by their entire being (looks, intellect, capability, knowledge, etc). That last part really gets to me and it makes me give men an automatic side eye when I catch them looking at me because I can just bet I'm being compared to some tart off TV or CGI character that I can never measure up to, and therefore, I'm "ugly" to men. Ugh. I dislike that most of them seem to either see us a prey or weak sub-humans.
