    I think one should be rather dismissive of “it would be easier for me if others engaged in behaviours that have resulted in their being abused”.

    Your fucking convenience doesn’t come before their sense of safety.

      Men can’t reproduce. The fear of never getting a woman to love us is fucking scary to men because our feelings evolved around a total dependence on women to propagate our genes.

      For a man, the relationship to a woman is just as valuable as his own body, in terms of viability of his genes. The types of fear we feel reflect this biological fact. We fear death yes, because death means our genes don’t reproduce. We also fear rejection for the same reason.

        Don’t use biological arguments. In this stage of civilization, societal considerations trump biological ones.

        And the ones you’re using are bullshit anyway.
