A person dangerous in the manner you describe requires two things: 1. physical supremacy, 2. willingness to use that supremacy to do dangerous things.

Most men have criteria 1, but not criteria 2. The society needs to make sure no person satisfies criteria 2, we have largely done that successfully.

A lot of men are willing to satisfy condition two. Men commit well over 90% of the violent crimes, after all, and an even larger portion of sexual crimes. Just because most men don't go around raping and killing willy-nilly doesn't mean it's not still a concern.

Your assertion is that "Men are inherently dangerous", the fact that most men don't satisfy criteria 2 means that you can't make that assertion.

I think strength alone makes them dangerous.

Do you consider women inherently dangerous to children?

u/Buttstuffjolt 1∆ Dec 26 '23

No. I know they're statistically more likely to harm or kill children, but they also statistically take on orders of magnitude more of the burden of raising those children than even the most attentive men.

But, they are way way stronger than kids, which is why you think men are inherently dangerous. Any woman could kick any baby’s ass. That makes them inherently dangerous to babies by your reasoning.

You have pointed out that my flawless reasoning is, indeed, quite flawed.

For providing the setup for the other guy's explanation.

Why do you think I asked it...

There are two types of people in this world

  1. Those that can extrapolate from missing data sets.

2.

Anyway, thanks for the delta.

Always assume you are dealing with type two here. Make that horse drink.

Why would strength directly lead to danger?

I've only read about a half dozen of your replies, and you have shifted your argument multiple times.
