    Hmm. No, I don't think I do that at all. My best friend from college is a guy, but most of the time I try to minimize being around other guys. I don't think it's based upon this though, as my dislike of being around other guys is unrelated to their size.

    The macho thing is odd to me. It should be discarded, if possible. If one is overly concerned about being attacked, martial arts may make sense.

    As I've said a million times, if a man wants to put on a dress and pretend to be a woman I could care less.

    Great show me these videos of women beating up men. If there are videos of women beating up men, the men are either allowing it to happen, or were incapacitated somehow already.

    This is why every single unarmed self defense class on earth for women involves them making a quick strike to a vulnerable area and RUNNING.

    That's why there aren't battalions of Ukrainian feminists out stalking Russian troops in Ukraine.

    Your belief that women can beat up men is pure fantasy.

    I notice that your last paragraph had nothing to do with what I said. Go ahead and explain how women in the US are "property". Men already gave them everything they have now.

    Maybe we don't drink enough soy to suppress it.

    I have never once met someone in a day to day situation and thought about fighting them or if I would win in a fight. Not once.

    the few times I have considered this was because the individual was behaving erratically.

    You should try and unpack that before you start trying to figure out your issues with trans people.

    I think the image a lot of people get because there aren't that many trans people in the world are these viral videos of trans people having meltdowns. It's typically trans women because they're men and they can behave like men. But the first one I remember is the dude freaking out at the clerk at a gamestop cuz he referred to him as sir.

    I don't think this is a common thing if it was so you probably wouldn't see videos going viral the novelty makes it go viral.

    But generally people don't encounter trans people that often.
