No. I don’t want to childproof the world.

I don’t hear about men being rapped on VR.
So, men are allowed to VR as much as they want, but if a girl is on there she gets rapped? And the solution is she should just not play games?
It’s kind of like saying men can play, women play, they get rapped. Hey if they don’t like it they can leave. Great. Then girls will leave. So then you have a world where men roam free, women get rapped. If women don’t like it; they can leave. Soon you have a world where women hide because you might get rapped, and men get to be in the free. It's pretty much saying women don't get to game. If they don't want to get rapped, then they should just leave. While men don't have to face this dilemma, they can play all they want. It's making VR not accessible to women.

We’re not trying to childproof the world. But saying you get rapped because you’re a woman, don’t like it leave, is plain old sexism.

I think being allowed to exist in a public space, without getting rapped, is a reasonable expectation. Expecting to not getting rapped when out in the world engaging with others is not child-proofing the world. It's a basic human behavior.

Expecting people not to rape is not childproofing the world. It's a very basic level of human decency. Telling women if they don't like getting raped, they can just leave, is excluding women from society.
