Tell me, ARE YOU OPENLY HOSTILE ALL THE TIME, or is it just now. In a place, you can have your say on about every imagined nuence, possible.
Now whilst I grant you, You(as a women) are in danger, of Sexual Assault and ensuing Pregnancy Risk. However I am(as a Man), in as much danger of Physical Abuse (nee Assault, both Actual and Grievous) as you are.
I am in as much, danger as you are in relation to 85% of your Fears. So grow Up, and Face Life.
What Comes Your Way-COMES YOUR WAY & there ain't nothing you can do about it.

You have to be kidding. You place all those IFs on you. I can be strong and independent without all your dribble. Should a man say he can strong and independent only when others are protecting him. Men are objectified, raped, stalked, overgeneralized, abused emotionally physically and financially. They are sexually harrassed but we still expect them to be independent!

What an example of a moron you make of your self. You dont believe that a woman should be allowed to do or think for themselves. In you perfect world you would be able to beat and control a woman. I got it you were on Morey Povitch last week!!!!!!!!

I can't think of anything more pathetic. I hope you don't think that you are being clever or speaking for any other woman than yourself. You are a woman aren't you? I mean you don't really sound like one, but ... you know the question kind of implies you are one.

That is in a nutshell one of the biggest contradictions within feminism, I.E. the strong woman vs perpetual victim conundrum.

Your craving for protection isn't very masculine...
You need any Protector against those things?
You can't protect yourself?
