He's not protecting you though. He's owning you, staking sexual claim. That "protection" has a price, which means he's commodifying your for sex.

Is he doing things toward ending the culture of violence?

Is he investing in teaching and equipping you to protect yourself?

Does he vote for policies that free and elevate you, that foster safety in the public Commons or does he vote for policies that benefit only those like him to the clear detriment of others?

Feelinfs aren't facts. You might want to rethink how protected you really feel.
