How exactly is that going to work when on average men are 40% stronger and 30% larger than the average woman - and nobody stands up for them or comes to their aid in most cases? A year ago a woman was raped on an NYC train in full view of other passengers and nobody did ANYTHING. They didn't call the police or film the incident, much less tell the fucker to stop. The dominance hierarchy aspects of patriarchy teach people to bow to those "above" them which largely means who is willing to be more brutal.

Most times when a woman complains about a man's behavior, she is the one who gets further punished.

"We have a new problem and it’s how we respond to retaliation. Once an individual stands up and raises their hand to speak out, they quickly become a target. The same organization or people that applaud them for being brave often turn their backs on them as well. You are pegged as a whistle blower, a nuisance, a troublemaker – the squeaky wheel that will never be oiled again. We have seen women struggle with this quite a bit over the last few years especially in tech, media and entertainment."
