Even as a guy, I totally get this sentiment. I walk down a street never even giving the slightest consideration for the idea that someone would want to, or try to, sexually assault me. Or, I can stand in a group of guys (sober, drunk, rowdy, whatever) and feel totally anonymous and safe. Or talk with a potential customer/client, and know that they aren't going to make an awkward pass at me and put me on the spot regarding my job or closing a deal. Or if I put someone in their place, I'm just asserting myself and am not a "raging bitch".
I know that if I suddenly "became a woman" this would have to be a consideration that would affect my posture in all kinds of environments and situations. That scenario feels incredibly oppressive to me and I have to admit, I would hate men for it. Kudos to all of you who don't.
