Why do we infantilize women when bad things happen?

lol Okay.

The leaps people will make to blame things on women - or claim men are oppressed somehow - is incredible. CD never fails.

Except for perhaps writing one’s name in the snow with urine.

But that's not true, plainly not true. Things that require greater physical strength for example.

Does this really need to be said?

Older women are also more valued as a social convention, but that is much weaker than the priority placed on child-bearing women and children.

Historical left over from this biological fact.

What is this thread about?
Is it that women are afforded more protection and safety than men?
Do some men believe it is better, safer, to be women because they receive better treatment by society?
The heading mentions women, but is this thread really about men?
