Yes you are - you hijaked this one by talking about things that other people said, not the author, by reflexively accusing her of being unsympathetic to the violence men suffer and then later admitting that wasn't the case.

I didn't read that article you linked, but just as a matter of curiosity, how many times have you ever felt unsafe on the streets? Maybe once or twice? Maybe never at all - which is what most men say when asked about this. EVERY SINGLE WOMAN you know of all socio-economic levels has felt unsafe on the streets dozens if not hundreds of times. This is a pervasive near universal dynamic that begins for little girls starting at about age 10. So, the fact that statistically men are more likely to suffer violence on the streets has no bearing on women's experience of how this routinely happens to them and almost never happens to the men that they know unless they live in certain areas. This is most likely the reason that women talk about this in the way that they do. You telling them that this is wrong for them to talk about is minimizing their suffering and it's a really crappy thing to do.

It is possible to bring the larger story of violence against men to greater light without doing that; without making it a contest, or trivializing what all the women you know have too often experienced. I highly recommend that you do that in the future.
