I would like to hear your views regarding the idea that women need to be protected

I am mostly interested in women's opinions but if you guys got sth to say, say it.. it's a good willed based concept, but I think results in strange conditions. What are your views, needs/ takes ?

Sometimes women need to be protected, just like anyone else would. That age-old idea of protecting the women and children has...does make sense, in many situations. The children for obvious reasons, the women because they have so often been sought and used to satisfy a sexual or 'power' need.

I think anyone who needs protecting should be, by anyone capable and willing. I do not think women need to be, based simply on them being a woman.
