I don't understand why this triggers so many men. I think a lot of them just have absolutely no experience talking with women or reading about their interactions with men. Just a total lack of curiosity or interest in what life is like for women.

    absolutely no experience talking with women

    Also, most people have no experience with wildlife and think all bears are murder machines.

    The vast majority of bear encounters outside of very specific locations are with black bears. In which case you just end up momentarily scaring each other and then they run away.

    Genuinely men don't see some of the issues women deal with. Like, all of my female friends have stories about dudes being creeps, but my male friends mostly don't have stories like that. It's extremely easy to be out of touch with even your close friends on this matter.

    I really don't want to give a rhetoric lesson in a comment, but not everything people say is a 100% absolute that is about you specifically. It's a commentary on the fact that many women do not feel safe around a random man because of their lived experiences. If you don't understand why that is, you have the entire internet at your disposal.
