    What?

    I’m saying you’re the one who was in danger and therefore had the exact same concerns, and thereby you enforced my point that prioritising your own safety in this way isn’t about gender.

    Anyone can be at a physical disadvantage, and therefore have to rely on caution. And anyone can turn out to be a crazy person.

      My point is - you’d think attacking a guy twice one’s size might present a risk to one’s safety, but that didn’t seem to stop them. Like, one punch from me might easily have killed them, so it’s puzzling. In a way I think they knew they were protected by their size, because I just wouldn’t dare touch them. Even when being attacked with a blunt object!

      “And therefore, it’s women that are privileged”. No, I’m really not trying to make that point, but it would be funny if I was.

        I don’t think you have a point.

        You met some crazies, which just proves the point that they exist, and we all have good reason to act with caution lest we encounter one with unfortunate results.

          I hope I don’t need a point to participate. People with points are annoying, especially on here.

          My Chinese teacher gave me a hundred points last week, actually, I just remembered! She was joking, sort of… but maybe I can use some of those?

          Upvoted you too, because I’m a friendly guy. Do those count as points?
