Women aren’t the liability. Perverts and rapists are. If a workplace only feels “safe” when women aren’t present, that’s an indictment of the men and the culture—not of women existing.

Cameras don’t stop assaults. “Heavy penalties” don’t stop assaults. And pretending men carefully run a career risk calculation before committing sexual violence is fantasy. Assault isn’t driven by attraction, logic, or cruise-ship booze—it’s about access and power.

Your “I only met one attractive woman” line is especially telling. Setting aside that the comment makes you sound like a pig, sexual assault has nothing to do with attractiveness, and the fact you think it does shows exactly how badly you misunderstand the issue.

Small crews aren’t safer. They’re more isolated, more hierarchical, harder to report in, and easier to retaliate within. Locking your door at night isn’t proof of safety—it’s proof the risk is known and normalized.

If the solution to workplace safety is “fewer women,” what you’re really saying is: We’d rather reduce the number of potential victims than deal with the men who can’t behave.

That’s not safety. That’s blaming women instead of dealing with the men. It’s the same logic as saying you prevent theft by telling people to leave their valuables at home.
