Exactly.

I don’t have any problem treating women deferentially in matters like this, because even if there is a large percentage of women who cannot grasp reality, there is a subset that does, and appreciate the protection a man can offer.

But the truth of the matter is (and this woman probably knows it but can’t bring herself to accept it) that if something bad happens and she doesn’t have a weapon, unless she is one of the privileged small percent that has all these things going for her, things are going to go badly if someone wants to do her harm:

Has the time, money, and desire to work to a high level of fitness

Take martial arts courses

Have the inclination to use that training

Have the luck to catch a male aggressor either incompetent or off-guard

Have the training she has received work for her the first time in a crisis

There are far too many women who subscribe to the Hollywood BS that a woman can go out and take on 3 or 4 men in physical combat (all of whom can be highly trained and at the apex of male fitness) and not only prevail, but walk away leaving all of them lying on the ground holding their crotch in pain. There are a lot of women who actually BELIEVE that.

It is stupid and dangerous. The point is, ladies, you cannot have it both ways. You cannot trumpet the dogma that the only thing holding women back in any endeavor, mental or physical, is the lack of opportunity.

There is a thing called reality.

"..Smile and/or wave as you run past us — we like feeling like we’re part of a community..."

There's the rub: You are NOT part of a community. Due to your hateful values, you destroy community with your very existence.

You would better serve community by being at home and making your man a sandwich.
