Do men ever defend others from physical attack? Sure! But who’s doing the attacking?
The idea that women are safer, and men are more virtuous, if women stay out of certain places (work, public life) - surely this undermines the “men naturally protect women” claim.

e.g. the popular fantasy of men as defenders from physical attack
“men also view their bodies as something they extend over someone else who needs them […] placing themselves between an outside threat and their family or their country”
Quick question: in this scenario, what sex is the attacker?

Gus ate or was stung by a wasp right after we got him and we didn’t know if he was allergic.
Emergency vet: “yes, he’s clearly been stung in the face; the terrible swelling means he’s having a strong allergic reaction”
Me: “…um, that’s his normal face”
Vet: “WOW.”

If I'm short tempered with him, it's because I'm difficult. If he's short tempered with me, it's because I'm difficult.
If I don't like him, it's because I'm a bitch. If he doesn't like me, it's because I'm a bitch.
