I thought this whole thing was bait until a streamer recently told a personal anecdote: he recently went to a wedding, and at some point, he realized that all the women kept the drinks in their hands, for the whole time, until they were done with them. After asking about it, he was told that it was standard safety to avoid getting roofied. At that point I realized I had seriously underestimated the chances of running across a psycho capable of gifting you some precious trauma for most people.
Thing is, statistically speaking, you, as a male, have way more chances of dying, getting assaulted, getting robbed, and in general pretty much every kind of crime that is not sexual assault. So you have way more chances of running across a traumatic psycho, yet you do not see every male holding the drink like that.
Yes it is! Being robbed or mugged is definitely less traumatic than being raped! Murder is arguable, but it’s hard to be traumatized when you’re dead. You need to understand that it is okay for marginalized groups (women) to “punch up” at more societally powerful groups (men). You don’t judge the nerds at school for talking shit about their bullies.

Because all of the things you listed have nothing to do with being drugged and raped.
Like, holy fuck dude, pull your head out of your ass.
Yeah, it has to do with feeling fear of being the victim of a crime. Pull yours out your ass. It isn’t any less traumatic.
