female type friends, do YOU feel any need or desire to "be protected"? if so, from what (let's stick to social shit, not the obvious answer of fascism)?
are you afraid of "men invading the ladies bathrooms? if so, why aren't you also screaming about "ladies in mens bathrooms"? because you aren't, not a peep. not a peep about "girls in mens sports". therefore, you are spewing false outrage without clear thought. stop it.
Many of us have had to learn firsthand in the most horrific ways imaginable, that having survived such trauma tends to create an innate drive to educate anyone willing to learn. Break the f*cking cycle!
