Wars don’t require fault, only a casus belli. And often not even that much. Otherwise, trans people would share fault over other ongoing culture wars that pundits arbitrarily pulled them into from the hat of low representation.
But really, caring about any of this beyond recognizing that women want to feel safer is silly. And I’m pretty sure they’ll get their wish, considering society is trending safer by the day. And then, in 2 years, women will rise in defiance of, I don’t know, single parent stereotypes, and I will care just as little, as a non-judgmental person
While society may be trending safer in actuality, it seems people's perception is that it's trending towards the dangerous.
I'm sure this has nothing to do with the 24/7 ~~ragebait~~ ~~fearbait~~ "news" cycle nor social media, nooooo.
But in effect that means no matter how safe it gets, they won't feel safe by design so those companies and influencers can make more money.
