Saw this on an instagram page of somebody called Moses Williams. He is a literal male feminist clown, and yeah a dancer. So, he was calling out somebody on the Whatever podcast who said that it's good men are not protecting women, so women would learn a lesson that they need men. So, he was showing some clips of women protecting women from men. And obviously women in comments were saying "Protect us from whom??" and "I was always in my life protected by women, men just stood there sheepishly" and all that.

You can go and read that. But I'm thinking what's the appropriate and factual response to these things?

The only appropriate response is to ignore them. Arguments with people that have no interest in hearing your points is useless and draining

"So, he was showing some clips of women protecting women from men." I'd love to see his source for these clips. Because women protecting me from abusive women have been MIA in my life for the last 32 years (I'll turn 32 in May), so if there's a place where i can find these women, I'd be very happy to head out there.

"Protect from Russia". Modern world comfort is taken for granted, but a lot of men support a lot of essential things like water supply and electricity, even someone will need to defend against enemy while you're charging nukes.

I'm not interested in protecting random women I don't know. I'm not a bodyguard.

Male feminists are traitors to males who are being oppressed by female feminists who want to manipulate more men

So you have a problem with a catch phrase that women are using, but not the podcaster who thinks *teaching women a lesson* for not using men as body shields, is an acceptable mindset?

Maybe you don't actually stand with this mindset, but you didn't see a problem with someone else thinking that way, or that it just wasn't as bad as women saying "protecting us from who?" to you. Why not? Both are vindictive statements, designed to teach the other a lesson and invalidate the other's points. Being single or being in a relationship doesn't guarantee anybody anything. Maybe stop tryna hurt yourselves engaging with women who are going to keep making up any reason or excuse not to date you.

The whole thing is gynocentric by making the health of women a higher priority than the health of men and playing out these simping fantasies.

Williams doesn't know what he's talking about.

Hetero women just like a strong man around because they make them feel protected. Because if some random dude showed up and tried something physical, she know he can handle it.

And, if he's smart and aware, he helps her defend against other women who are predators, the kind who manipulate other women to do things they don't want to do, etc.

When you see an attractive, healthy 35 year old woman, married to an awesome strong, attractive man, and she has her wonderful attractive and smart kids with her, living in a nice house in a nice neighborhood. And standing across her is a single 35 years old woman, tattered, no kids, no man, living in a dangerous area, can't afford much,, kind of unhealthy, it's clear what women mean when they say, "feel protected".

That tattered woman does not have the protection of living in a nice area, or the protection of having great health, or feeling protected enough to have children, etc. I see this everyday. It all gets real when women reach 50, and look around themselves and compare.

Moses Williams is a narcissist and probably a secret rapist who pretends to be a feminist for popularity, and research has showed many narcissists engage in fake activism for popularity. Look it up.
