The question seems weird at face value, precisely because maybe 100 years ago anyone would agree with the saying "the most dangerous animal you can come across in the wild is a man", but the fact that a lot of women immediately would give the same response completely naturally, and a lot of men get stumped on "how dare they insult me" even if they do understand that it's just "spot a bear in the wild" and not "he's sneaking right behind you", and some even say "you deserve what happens to you, you chose this", is very interesting in what it tells about this existing problem that few people would admit outside of a question like this.

Well a lot of men are blatant misogynists I never questioned that part of it. A lot of men are fucking assholes. Have the unfortunate privilege of having known some of them. It's just a really dumb question is all. It still irks me even knowing more now. But yes people are assholes in general. Every one.
