women aren't socialized to fight. They are mostly naturally nuturers who are empathic and caretake the underdog. when a lot of us were younger guys who aren't super masculine were our friends and we stuck up for guys picked on them. This mentality has been used against us to tell us that WE are the bullies if we stick up for ourselves over a 250 pound man in a dress who could be a rapist because reasons.
I'm naturally skeptical and a fighter and even for me this has been hard to realize how ridiculous it is. for other women, especially those in liberal bubbles who don't have kids or any outlet to hear about the real story, its easier for them to fall back on the idea this is a school bully picking on their gay friend vs. actual bullies and pedos.
