ETA: @Erki -- yeah, true. If some unwelcome guy was hitting on a female friend I might step in to help her out. I guess in that sense, dream guy could say something, but it's not an instance of me needing a big, strong man to protect me from the other man. You know? |
What about some unwelcome guy hitting on a male friend? Er, oops, I don't think you go to
such clubs.
Are women seen as someone weak or something, who need constant protecting?
The emphasis seems to be on fighting against jerks, not on making sure of having a safe and happy environment. It seems that jerks are even somehow needed - to prove that the guys indeed are able to protect the woman.
