Just came across the most shocking nonsense I've ever heard coming from a man

He's asked a question. If you hear a noise downstairs and you're a family man, who's going downstairs? He said nobody because his duty is not to protect but survive.

His sentiment is we're all equal, the womans life is not more valuable than the man's and a man shouldnt have to step in front of a bullet to protect a woman. Ridiculous, because we're not just talking about a random woman, we're talking about your wife, but it gets worse. He couldn't even answer when asked what if it's your kids you need to take a bullet for? .

Friggin horrendous.

I understand what you’re saying, but I can honestly say, protection is not what I’ve sought in a partner. Often, men who see their role as "protecting" their wives also want to control her. That’s not someone with whom I’d be compatible.
Incidentally, many women who feel that they don’t need a man aren’t saying they wouldn’t want one. But "needing" implies you can’t get along without one, and those are the women who end up with abusers, because they believe they have to settle or be alone.

Exactly! There's a very fine line between protection and control.
