@stardust You can always train, and if you're attacked without reason, reply with extreme force. As I said earlier, there's no excuse for attacking an innocent.

@mrmattimation don't worry I'm not even going to dignify that theory with a proper response
-
@rarity I'm here prepared with an actual argument this time that isn't "not all men are like that". I realize now that it was a stupid thing to say and I do apologize for what transpired last night.
-
@mrmattimation no point in arguing it
-
@mrmattimation @rarity "Not all men are like that sounds like a great argument to use with somepony who hasn't lost faith in the good in people.
-
@pony But it doesn't help to reassure the women who are sincerely afraid of men. Not because they decided "I hate men", but because they have gone through some traumatizing event that has led them to believe that men are out to get them.

@mrmattimation doth mine eyes deceive me? Could you be saying something rational?
-
@rarity Like I said earlier, I had read something today that kinda managed to change how I think a bit.
-
@mrmattimation True. In the game of convincing people, logic isn't usually king. http://pny.lv/2k1d

@mrmattimation But blaming an innocent because of the actions of someone else still can't be excused. There's lots of guilt to place in this issue.

@mrmattimation It applies to both genders in one case or another. There's lots of females that think that men are out to get them, and there's lots of males that think that women are out to lie to and ruin them. They both have examples to endorse their points, but they're also horribly generalizing, and the way to solve it is to catch the guilty, not to blame a gender, because otherwise everyone would be blamed. In my opinion the way to solve it is to teach self defense, but also to teach how and when to use it, and make clear and strong punishments for its misuse, because otherwise lots of innocents would be harmed due to sheer paranoia.
