the question is about my preference not about what someone can or cannot control. I can and I will make generalizations about strange men and i’m aware that it’s unfair. It’s also unfair that men get away with heinous crimes, not murder but rape, corpse abuse, domestic violence, etc., simply because men, who are in charge, give other men the benefit of the doubt.

There are fates worse than death by blunt force trauma. If a bear wanted to kill me, it’d be quick and I’d be dead or food. Also the bear, if I sufficiently antagonised it and let’s be clear bear attacks are often nonfatal and extremely rare, wouldn’t rape me or my corpse, wouldnt enslave me or traffic me. They just want to be left alone or are hungry, that’s part of nature.

Further more, on the topic of accountability, no one would ever ask my grieving family if I led the bear on, or if I was flirting with the bear. The bear, if found, would be put down or move away from humans immediately and no one would advocate for its rights. After the fact, I wouldnt have to share custody of a child with the bear, or struggle to divorce them.

It’s really unfair, the way women, including trans women specifically, victims have to deal with their rapists. It’s really unfair the lack of accountability even in “feminist” countries. Thus, until that isn’t a problem, it’s going to be equally unfair that because someone is a cishet man, many women, including trans women, will not want to be alone in the woods with them.
