Or if men were being gunned down for getting a woman pregnant, or getting a vasectomy without permission. Or being doused in acid for speaking to a woman they don't know in a creepy way in public. Or if there was a Free the Shears night at colleges like men have panty raids. Or if random women started running up on them in public and tazing their balls.
And when men complained, they were victim blamed with "well, what were you wearing? What were you doing there at that time? What did you do to make her think it was okay to do that to you?" type questions.
Yeah. How many of those stories hitting the news before men started getting twitchy around women. How long till articles started popping up about the inherent potential danger of women?
Not very.
