If you live in a society where you feel like you can't trust a stranger, or a typical stranger can't legitimately be trusted ... I think that speaks volumes about your environment and how it has sadly shaped your perspective.
If I encountered a stranger in the woods, am I inclined to assume they intend me no harm and are just out for a walk in the woods as I am. They'll regard me in the same way, because we live in a world where, 99.9% of the time, this is likely the reality and is true. That's because I have been raised with (some would say) a "delusional" faith in the humanity of the average person and experience has taught me people are inherently decent. The society I was raised up into is based on a code of morals and ethical conduct that can be relied upon. Or , at least it could with greater certainty than of lately as it would seem that some want me(us) to think that is no longer correct (and possibly never was). Which is bullshit, even now, despite everything going on. I consider this outlook emblematic of the raising effort to divide society against each other. An insidious mind virus that convinces people to mistrust and fear one another.
A bear on the other hand... I can't make such an assumption. I don't know what to expect from a bear and have to assume the worse, because if that bear decides I'm a threat or an opportunity for a free lunch. I'm fucked. I can't fight even a small bear in most situations. That bear may be harmless and just as likely to run away and have nothing to do with me than it is to attack me, but I have to assume the worse and take no chances with it because the stakes are too high.
If women think a typical man is more dangerous than a wild bear in the woods, it is first sad and second it is a problem that originates in this crusade to brand men and general manhood as "toxic" and a threat. Like we're given over to primal urges and can't help but act like degenerates and animals by default. We're not. Some men have also allowed themselves to be cowed into thinking this is natural and acceptable behavior. We often don't hold each other to the appropriate standards, nor enforce enough accountability among each other to challenge those men who fail to live up to those standards. Thus, reinforcing the argument that manhood is an inherently toxic threat to society.
Men who fail to act like men should be singled out by other men. I have been in a lot of public bathrooms filled with other men and never once have I thought, I'd rather encounter a bear than be in here. I've also never felt the need to argue that access to the women's bathroom as a right is necessary or normal. 99.9% of men in "my" society would agree and have no interest in wanting access to the woman's bathroom. The 00.01% that would are to be regarded with suspicion because they're not acting like men should. Thus they are a threat, not because men are a threat, but because they're not acting as a man should.
I have no problem with men roleplaying as women for sport or entertainment. Live and let live. It's amusing to witness. However, if you expect me to regard you with the same deference as I would an actual women? Fuck off. I have a wild bear in the woods I think you should be introduced too.
