Why should men protect women? Why single it out to “protect women”? If people were to say “people should protect others”, as in everyone, male and female, should protect others, male and female, then I don’t think a lot of people would have a problem with it.
However, why is it always “men should protect women”, as if it is the male job to ensure women are not harmed?
Whenever I have said women should also try to help men in trouble, the reply is always “women aren’t as strong”…But they would still expect a man to try jump in if a woman was in danger by three people, which they would obviously overpower the male helping.
More men than women would jump in and help people from a violent situation, however some people still think that “men” should be the ones told to help people, rather than women told to help people.
Not to mention, isn’t the whole idea that a man must “protect the women” part of the whole “Patriarchy” idea? So, you expect to keep the parts of this “Patriarchy” that benefit you, that expect men to put their health and safety on the line for you, but when part of it benefits men, it is a no, no?
Why are such people shame men that don’t comply with the patriarchy for female benefit, but attack patriarchy for when it doesn’t?
Why should men jump in to save a woman from harm when a woman would not even attempt to do the same, yet people will shame the man for doing what they themselves would do?
In the past I have “defended” women twice in this situation, but I would never do it again. Personally, I find it insulting that as a man I am expected to put my safety on the line for people that wouldn’t even attempt the same thing if I was in their situation.
Ofcourse helping others is a moral thing, however it is not “Immoral” when you don’t.
Why is it ok to shame men for not doing things women would never do for men in the same situation?
BQ: Why is it you shame men that don’t comply with this part of the so called “patriarchy”?
Update:
Cin, good comment.

It’s about double standards women’s maxim regarding equality is as follows “your’s is mine,mine is mine”.
Most women today are major self-centered gender narcissistic lesbian leaning
hypocrites with views they can’t defend.
“Women are as strong and tough as any
man! …..oh god, how could you hit a woman,
they are so much smaller and more fragile”
LOL. They want to be treated as men when it
benefits them and also treated as women when
that benefits them. Most are like children, who
want to play at being adults, but not be held
accountable, responsible, or bear the burdens
of adults.
What is truly disgusting to me is that men play
along with this hypocrisy. Either treat women
the same way you treat men or stop talking
about “equality”.

I honestly agree with you 100%-speaking as a male. I bet that if we would have allowed women like in the 1800s to this point to do more things based on knowledge, we could stop feminism stuff. I believe in putting women first even if you hate them, being completely fair, mechanisms to get a healthy relationship. I just don’t care for relationships personally, I actually enjoy being alone and its awesome. But for couples you are right. Women having a weaker body- agreed peace
“Why should men jump in to save a woman from harm”
Because that is what decent human beings do!
” when a woman would not even attempt to do the same”
Complete twaddle. What about the women (not men, note) who stepped in when Lee rigby was brutally jurdered on broad daylight? All three were nominated for bravery awards.
Just do a quick google search on women stepping in to save people.
“yet people will shame the man for doing what they themselves would do?”
I have stepped in to save a guy who was getting the crap beaten out of him outside a club. I have also stepped in to help others in need.
I SHALL shame you if you do not do the same.
Some people try to shame men in to being what they want men to be, robots that do everything to favour women and some sexist women like my sister expect that favouritism even as they complain about discrimination against women, But they way I see it women want equality ,that’s what they should get and not favouritism. I don’t protect women , they do nothing for me I do nothing for them, that’s how it should be. My advice is that in future you should ignore people who say men should do this and that because they are sexist hypocrites. Why protect the very people who are forever blaming you.
I completely agree with Cinnamon and Who.
Just because we look for gender equality doesn’t mean that your responsibility as a citizen of the world changes. Of course we don’t like to be treated like second class citizens based on our gender. And no, we are not like children – we fully well know what being treated as equals entails – not that any of you let us forget it anyway.
Think about it. Why is it that women had to fight for gender equality and not the other way around? Men already have and have taken what they need, and they continue to do so. I won’t say that all women are innocent. Some are mean and annoying – but tell me, are all men perfect? I don’t think so. Exceptions exist everywhere. Granted, the exceptions are obviously noticed, and are there everywhere, but there are good people everywhere too. You just need to stop being prejudiced and be nice to people.
Be good to people, without expecting anything back, and help will find you when you need it. My life is an example to that statement. Over half of the good things that came my way just appeared to me out of nowhere, at the right time, and they were far bigger than what I ever had in the first place, to give. I have come a very long way just by helping anyone in need, even if the person was not someone I had high regards for, but that’s what being genuine is like – you give to anyone that needs, without a second thought, and without question.
When you’re genuinely nice to people, you find nice people – if not at first, eventually. When you are nice, sometimes, bad things happen too, but you need to be willing to accept both – it will only make you stronger. You need to be patient, accepting, positive and see the good in people. If you look for faults, you are going to busy hating, for the rest of your life because everyone has faults, but if you look hard enough, everyone has something to teach, everyone does have some good in them – you need to be ready to focus on that and not just the faults.
Like cinnamon said, it is the duty of a real human being to help someone in trouble – this is not necessarily directed particularly at a man or a woman, but at both.
Besides, if you looked at chivalry the right way, it was definitely not a time when men were slaves – quite the opposite, in fact – men made sure women listened to them, and obeyed them, and in return, they pulled out chairs and opened doors – don’t even, for a minute, assume that women had men doing their bidding because men were being so chivalrous. Society even supported that.
Chauvinism is so deep rooted even today that some men who are utter hypocrites disrespect women and twist things, to make them look like the victims in the situations, actually have people to encourage them. I hate wife/husband jokes. If you hate your wives/husbands so much, why even get married in the first place?
Trust me, I am no feminist, but I do not support generalization in any form. Both genders have good and bad people in them, but that’s how people are – you can’t label the entire female population as one thing when it is clearly only a loud, conspicuous few who are that way. It infuriates me to hear people say terrible things against a whole gender/race.
I don’t really care what your gender is, I’m gonna try to help.
And when you say “but I would never do it again” Your just gonna stop helping people?
Watch an episode of “What Would You Do?” Women and Men offer help.
Well I would say the same for women.
When I think to myself “real” man or woman I simply attribute it to strength in character & doing the “right” thing & I reference either gender in that.
And yes anyone worth a sh*t should defend & help someone they are capable of helping because they care bout their… neighbor, community, society.
So yeah a man that sits & watches a woman being beat bloody is no man. Just as woman watching a man being beat bloody is no woman. (Besides in the genital sense). A “good” samaritan feels compelled to step in or seek the proper authority to help.
Dito.
Yes, they do. Men protect women because they are stronger and because that is their role. Men protect women and women look after men and children because that is their role. Many people nowadays try to confuse gender roles but they are wrong and they will never succeed. A REAL man would not even question his role for a split second, truth is real men are on the verge of extinction just like real women are as well. The world is full of “wanna-be-men” women and insecure weak men and that is SO sad.
bullsh*t on fugitives answer. so feminist can dilute or clear out gender roles for women but they expect men to do their without question it??equality for women only when it suits them. this is exactly the people who promote misandry under the false impression of morality. men should stop listening to women.
They certainly try.
But with their equal rights attitude, their panache for wanting all things on their terms, needing to be right all the time, requiring everyone around them to be “less right” than they are, nit-picking until they find something wrong–er, “less right”–in what people do/say/think/feel/[insert anything positive here done for them], they become their worst enemy and the worst enemy of people trying to do anything for them.
I am sooooooo sorry I got married.
Ha Ha Ha! Good one. What “real” men protect women means is that a man is only has a value when he is serving a woman’s needs. Men have no value otherwise. Its a totally foolish and self serving statement made by women and ignorant men who have been trained like dogs to do their mistress’ bidding. It means a real man is a slave.
