yeah, like, i don't know how to have a discussion with someone as unaware of the nuances of society as this
like i don't know where to begin
i guess i'm too used to interacting with people who have even a basic understanding of the dynamic of gender and power structures
i guess you can start by reflecting on the statement "it's not normal for a human to be afraid of the opposite sex", because it's correct. i want you to imagine that, despite this, many individuals of one sex are conditioned to be wary of members of the other sex, and maybe possibly consider that it's not completely irrational
