If you're devoting resources towards teaching women and girls how to be safe from attacks but aren't devoting the same level of resources, or more, towards teaching men and boys how to not attack, then your position is that the primary, if not sole, problem is female ignorance, not male violence.

@ricardoharvin I don't fully agree. I mean I agree that dismantling the patriarchy is important and would solve this whole thing, but it takes a lot more energy than teaching a woman how to destroy a knee.

I'm in a trans self defense group and I wouldn't expect the ones teaching me to teach cis people not to attack us.

Of course it would be different if they were men (for the first part) or cis (for the second part).

@lilianalytic Please carefully reread my post and recognize my core argument, the fullness of which can't be condensed into one post.

@ricardoharvin @lilianalytic I guess it depends on who "you" is in your initial toot. If "you" is society in general, I agree with you. If "you" is someone teaching self-defense to women, it's a ridiculous and harmful argument, frankly.
