MODERATORS
Because it fundamentally clashes with their world view.
I upvoted, but I don't think it's necessarily a clash of worldviews. I think it's the "boo-hoo poor me I'm a man" sentiment that I initially felt reading that, even as a man. It's giving men's rights at face value. Then I realized that yeah, this is one of the few instances where being a man--or more specifically being a man caught fighting a woman--will likely get you harmed or killed regardless of everything else.
But who knows, maybe it's just me and people have other motives.
Neutral onlooker and cis male here.
I felt the same way. Ok, yea we have the disadvantage of being seen as the bigger threat by other males? Because we typically are? Because of some of the many advantages we have as men?
It feels weird to even call this a disadvantage, because it comes from having a bunch of advantages, if that makes any sense. We wouldn't have a disadvantage here if we didn't have natural advantages, in the first place.
Besides, this particular situation didn't have as much to do with his gender disadvantage as his racial disadvantage, anyways. It was all exacerbated by the disadvantage of the cop having no discernible brain cells.
