My thoughts is that it’s a simple situation really. If they’re harassing or assaulting people, the women will call the cops or something, simple situation and get the guy arrested. If he’s not doing anything, it’s nothing harmful. Apparently that’s not a solid enough answer. What should I have said?
I don’t think you are paying attention to the impacts of different things, or who benefits from the paradigms that are perpetuated.
Did you consider for any amount of time who benefits from strict gender divides in general?
