"All men are dangerous" is the exact same sentence as "all men are potentially dangerous." These are the exact same sentence.
Someone is not "dangerous" if they're actively in the act of raping someone. They're well past the point of being dangerous to being an active violent threat. "Dangerous" in this context simply means "risky." And yes, all men are dangerous if you don't know about them. They present a potential danger. Ie, they're dangerous. A woman meeting stumbling across a random man on a street at night is in a dangerous situation. There's real risk there. Even if the guy turns out to be a saint, that danger still exists until proven otherwise.
Dangerous and potentially dangerous are not the same sentence. Every person, male or female is potentially dangerous.
Ah, ok thanks. I've seen this crop up a few times and wondered how the arguments spin wildly out of control. I get it now.
You (and I assume the OP) are using the word "dangerous" differently than most people here.
When you say "dangerous", you mean "might be a threat", right? Most people here understand it as "is a threat".
To use an abstract example, to me "this sandwich is dangerous" and "this sandwich is potentially dangerous" are wildly different. One says this sandwich is definitely poisoned or something, the other is simply telling me to keep my guard up.
By "most people" you mean "men." You're doing the male as default.
The way women, who are most people, use dangerous, is that the person might be a threat.
Women are half the population. Neither men as a group nor women as a group are 'most people'
I'm literally going off the upvotes / downvotes, nothing more.
It can't be proven otherwise, because mr.saint can just be acting to get you alone.
Always carry a pepper spray, ignore the offended incels.
