I'm having a really hard time responding to this in a measured way.
Males can get upset about this, because even male dignity is under assault, which is not usually the case. I am, of course, happy to see males worrying about human dignity, but am saving the bulk of my rejoicing for if and when their concern for human dignity continues after male dignity is restored.
It's not like people are going to quit trying to manipulate each other. (Not to mention that implying that female manipulation is the equivalent of male violence AND male manipulation just doesn't happen is--let's leave it at "just wrong" for the moment and not get into men's rights activists, since comments don't have enough space for how I feel about *that.*)
Suffice it to say that not caring about violence until head games stop is just not caring about violence period.
Now you want to put a stop to all security theater, fine, go for it; I'm certainly not disagreeing with that, it's just not the issue I was talking about.
