Few adult men are killed by adult women. Our fear is real

The problem is that people keep saying “Not all men” in direct response to women expressing that they don’t feel safe. Same energy as telling a black person “All lives matter”.

I don't think this is entirely accurate. The equivalent of an "all lives matter" person is a "men have issues too" person, not a "not all men" person. The first two are from people taking issue with advocacy for one group (black people; women) because they see it as exclusionary of or harmful to their group (white people; men)*. In contrast, "not all men" people are responding to a percieved attack directed at them, not just to being excluded from targeted advocacy. Subtly but meaningfully different, imo.

* Technically non-black people and non-women, I suppose? But this is the general pattern I've recognized.

My analogy isn't perfect, but I think it holds up well enough to make my point.

Woman: "I'd like to not be sexually harassed when I go out in public."

Man: "I feel personally attacked by this statement."

Black person: "I'd like to not be killed by a cop today."

White person: "I feel personally attacked by this statement."

It's good enough to make the point, but inaccuracies add up, so I always try to correct the ones I percieve, however small.
