Yeah, it is. The conversation was about gender roles, until you brought in rape.
Was it tough?
I’d phrase it differently. Unrealistic expectations of the opposite sex [^1] exist by both sexes, but that there outcomes for women when the stereotypes of men hold true are often more dangerous. One is saying it isn’t sexist; the other is saying that there’s a vast difference in risk.
Then rape isn’t part of the risk you were talking about here?
The “Would you rather a bear or…” question could be reused in a very uncomfortable way. You could swap men with a group of yoing, black, inner city men and rural white men for women. But instead of demonstrating that men are the issue and women the victims, suddenly it’d be black men who are the victims and rural white men the problem. And, yet, the fear and the risk of confirmation of stereotypes is the same - only in this case, believing those stereotypes makes people racist.
Fear of rape, among others. Which I wanted to show is backed by the data.
I’m surprised it’s dropped. The statistic used to be 1 in 4.
