I apologizing for assuming. You said something along the lines of "nobody would jump be just because I'm a man" which tells me you haven't been assaulted by random guys before in your life. They absolutely will jump you for no reason regardless of your gender. I posted those exact statistics in my first comment.
And the word "inferior" has a negative connotation connected to it. You usually use it to describe something that is worse in every way. For example: "I only use zip lock bags because other plastic resealable bag brands are all inferior".
Your comment about your girlfriend taken at face value came across very sexist. Which is all we can do without knowing someone, how was I supposed to know English is your second language? You use better punctuation than me and it's the only language I know lol.
I think you've misunderstood. The commenter is not saying that random attacks don't happen to men, that's obviously true. But those attacks won't target you specifically because you are male, which is an additional justification for violence that women have to deal with. I'd argue it's even more common than women being targeted randomly - or even that random muggings/assaults are actually random. I mean, who's jumping people that they think are a threat?
