18 Saddening Replies To The Question ‘What Would You Do If There Were No Men On Earth For 24 Hours’ Shared On TikTok
According to global estimates by the World Health Organisation, around 1 in 3 women worldwide have experienced physical and/or sexual violence. That makes up about 35% of the population of women. Moreover, the WHO indicates that approximately 38% of murders of women are committed by a male intimate partner. Evidently, there’s a huge disproportion in terms of who experiences the most violence towards them. Sadly, there’s a pattern that definitely needs reevaluation and the times are calling for a change.
Luckily, young women and girls are starting to speak out more, and the #MeToo movement that broke out several years ago has made it somewhat safer for the victims to come forward with their stories. That doesn’t mean that the problem has gone away.
The more we’re open in these conversations, the safer the world will be for women in the future. That’s why it is important that young people are using social media platforms to speak out on issues that can’t be overlooked anymore. So when someone on TikTok asked “what would you do if there were no men on earth for 24 hours,” it was a learning moment for some. “it makes me mad and sad that women have to fear doing all these things because some idiots thought that it’s a great idea to harass women,” one man on Twitter commented. “We as men need to do better,” another one added.
Scroll down below to read the answers from women and tell us what you think, and what you would do if there were no men for 24 hours, in the comment section!

The thread almost instantly went viral. It seemingly resonated with a lot of people, as almost half a million of Twitter users “liked” it. Naturally, there were people who disagreed with such portrayal of men. “Right… because only men can be criminals and engage in illegal acts,” someone tweeted sarcastically. “Buy a gun, learn self defense, don’t walk alone at night,” one man immediately offered a solution to the problem.
The comments from the post were shared on Twitter

“Saw a TikTok that said, what would you do if there were no men on Earth for 24 hours,” Twitter user @wxixp posted. “Here was the comment section,” she tweeted with a sad emoji—understandably so, as the comment section is really disheartening to read.
“Go on walks at night”

“Wear whatever I want and feel safe while doing so”

“Live how I want to live”

One clear pattern emerged—it’s that women would very much like to go out at dark hours without fearing for their lives. In addition to this, there were a couple of people who shared that they would dress any way they want, again, without fearing for their safety.
There were man who were dissatisfied with the generalization of men

In case any of those "But I'm a nice guy" guys are reading this: 1) Unless you're a friend, you're a stranger, and nobody knows you are actually nice. 2) A lot of thieves and rapists seem like nice guys because that's a tactic. Sooooo don't blame the women for overreacting, blame the guys for making the world so dangerous for them.

Yep. Are the majority of my interactions with men perfectly fine? Of course! Have I also had interactions that had me fearing for my safety and my life? You betcha. The bad guys don't have signs saying "I'm bad!" or have a "bad look," so we have to exercise care. It's like if I told you that in a bowl of M&M's the majority were perfectly safe and lovely but one or two of them would make you violently ill - would you reach in and chow down or exercise caution before you took a bite?

When I walk around at night, Im scared of other men. I have never been attacked by a woman.

Yup. I also make a habit of looking as harmless as possible if I meet a woman on the street at night, preferring to even cross the street so that she doesn´t have to walk by me. I feel so very sad that my first thought is "Better not look intimidating!" when I walk towards a woman in the evening or at night... :-(

Jesus, these guys just don't get it. Women aren't saying that ALL men are rapists and murderers. But most rapists and murderers are men, and guess what? They can't be identified when they're just walking down the street! It's safer for women to assume a man is dangerous, because if she's wrong about that then the worst thing that can happen is an offended male ego. If she assumes all men are safe to be around, the worst that could happen is she becomes another dead body.

During a conversation a guy mentioned how he did not like this gay therapist we had. Saying that the way he looked, talked, behaved made him feel unsafe, even though nothing really was happening. To which I was very clear that he now finally knew how women felt on a daily basis. He really did not like that, stating that he did not want to know.

Maybe that’s why so many straight men have such hate or dislike towards gay men, they’re afraid that one might come along and do something that will make them feel comfortable , something women deal with from men in general throughout their lives. And yet they still don’t understand what it feels like for women.

You know, try turning it around. Ask men what they would do if there were no women for 24 hours. I'm apologise for generalising, but I'm pretty sure 99% of the replies would involve "gaming in my underpants all day", in a tongue-in-cheek way. I have absolutely no problem with this kind of humour (I mean, us women ARE difficult, and we DO nag you a lot, sorry for that!), but just look at the world of difference... Women are actually afraid of men, while men are just happy to escape the nagging (if I may be so free to generalise for a second). I think that says enough.

Sometimes I wonder if it even registers with men how they come off. I have been accused of overreacting so many times by men, and then I have to go through this little game of "well, what would you do if *you* were 175cm and 65kg and the other person was like, 185cm and 80kg"? It really bothers me that I constantly have to justify why I'm feeling uncomfortable in a situation and navigate men getting butthurt over me not feeling that great around them. No female driver has ever locked me into their car, men have. (Uber, child safety lock, demanding my number) No female driver has ever sped up to 180kph on a 90kph road because I've disagreed with something they said. No woman has ever called me to shout at me because I "wasn't being sweet enough" in a professional email. No woman has ever followed me for entire blocks, no woman has ever been dismissive when I told them about being followed and boy I could go on for days. Point is, if a woman tells you that they are uncomfortable, listen.

Someone actually wrote that this question "attempts to exonerate women of their responsibility to protect themselves." WHAT!?!

It goes hand in hand with "if she hadn't worn that skirt, maybe she would not have been rapped!"

True stories: I live in a big city, and have done a fair amount of walking at night to and from public transport: Sixteen: typical teenager, sitting at the back of a bus. Older man with tattoos came and sat next to me. I tried to ignore him. Next thing he's got his hand on my thigh. I tell him to get back over his side of the seat, and then go make a complaint to the driver. He got kicked off. 20s: waiting at a bus stop in the dark. Man walking on the other side of the road sees me. Stops, makes eye contact...and starts walking right toward me, rapidly. I'm absolutely terrified. Bus comes around the corner, he stops and walks away. 30s: get off bus in the dark, just across the road from my house. I cross the road, a man walks past, stares at my breasts and says 'mmmmm.' Same house, different day. A man follows me into my driveway. I turn around and ask if I can help him. He turns, walks away. Are most men like this? No. Are there enough that make life a bit scary sometimes? Yes.

When I was 16 and worked in a grocery store we had this older man come in frequently he was always friendly to everyone and never inappropriate until.. I asked him if he would like to be interviewed for a paper I had to do about local history. We met in a park during the middle of the day. He literally started rubbing on my thigh and asked if I’d like to come to his house after to just watch tv and hang out. I left super quick. This man was around 70 years old. I was 16.
