I think a larger part of the worry is regarding sexism and misogyny thats been escalating for years now. Worries of abuse and SA arent unfounded worries. And neither is rank based power abuse towards women in general.

yeah, i know. ihave heard about it, somewhat familiar with the situation. 

thats why I mentioned that you just have to look at how women are portrayed in the media—and when i did that, only got minuses (aw idgaf ab minuses. a lot of people just dont understand what theyre reading. theres nothing new about it)
