Would be good to hear some female perspectives in this thread.

I'm not, which is why I'm not acting like I know anything about what it's like to be a woman outside the fact that
no man knows what's it's like to be a woman.
My friends who are women have told me enough stories for me to understand that as much as I can listen and empathize with those stories, I don't know, and couldn't.
You're not a woman, right? So how could you know what the real world is like? What's the point of pretending? You can have a wife, or a daughter, or have friends who are women, you still don't know. So who are you helping by pretending you know about the real world?
I'm not suggesting anything wrong about the people that do this, but the "real world," or "shouldn't have put herself in that situation," or "should have known better" type comments are all fairly academic exercises from people who probably don't know anything about what it's like to be a woman, and certainly have zero clue whatsoever what this woman knows or was aware of. So honestly, who are these comments for? Yourselves.
