  • NO. I love it. My ex used to be very protective when we were walking around the city.
  • no but it's a sexist belief that a woman shouldn't protect and defend her man.
  • No, men are naturally stronger than women.
  • No.. I kind of like it. Were dainty ya know.
  • I don't believe it is sexist. It would be pretty lame to say a guy isn't generally much stronger than a female. That doesn't mean he is better than a female... just stronger. Females also have their advantages.
  • No... I think the woman should have the right to attempt to defend herself and when things get out of control it is all about the man to step in and let everyone know whats up!
  • no. i think a man who protects/defends his lady is a caring man. i also think it works both ways. a lady should do the same. were all here to help each other.
  • No....chivalry is alive & well Miss!
  • I think it is admiral I don't think it should be expected....but appreciated
  • Feminism and sexism be damned. I was taught that women are to be loved, cherished and protected, and I shall continuge to do just that with my wife until I am dead. End of story.
  • Yes, But I still like it when my husband does.
  • I think a man should defend a lady. Open doors, pull out chairs, let her reach first for a hand shake, and walk on the side between the lady and traffic or harm. If that is sexist then I am sexist.
  • No. They are naturally bigger and usually stronger. I like to feel cherished, safe and protected.
  • No I don't think it's sexist, I think it's wonderful!
  • If you were with your boyfriend or whatever, and suddenly someone attacked you, would you want him to stand there, or fight the person off? Lol, I think no matter the gender, a person should defend their significant other. I would say not to get jealous about everything, but that's something most people can't help. :P
  • This maybe a unpopular answer, but yes. I think it's sexist towards men! I'm a small, and weak guy. I hate fighting. Luckily we live in a time, and place where you don't have to fight, to survive. I think it's offensive that so many women expect a man to be big, and strong, and protect them when a can of mace can do much better then anything.
  • No, I dont. That is completely natural. I am a bit over protective, if I did have a girlfriend...LOL I think the word sexist is thrown around way to easy, I am a little old fashioned, I like to be in charge and I like to lead a realtionship, doesnt mean the woman has no say, but I have been called sexist. There is actually more "reverse sexism" goin on in the country and it seems to be perfectly acceptable. For examle every situational comedy is a marriage where the husband is a screw up and his wife is the voice of reason and always has to bail him out of trouble (Everybody Loves Raymond). During the 50s, sit-coms were the total opposite, the woman was the scerew-up and the man was there to get her out of trouble ( ex: I love lucy)
  • well yes, but i think they should both defend each other and the rest of the family that is the normal instict of survival.
  • I can take care of myself and my boyfriend. -- But we're in it together and if he can't be for me than bye-bye.
  • Perhaps it would be more sexist if the man stood there and watched his lady get mugged, like "Oh, I thought you could protect yourself".
  • Yes, I do. I don't know maybe I'm weird, because I am more than capable of defending myself, and don't need a man to do it for me. I can remember many of times, but one sticks out in my head. My husband friend was over, and he was drunk. There he sat at our dining room table insulting me ~ My husband laid in the bedroom laughing as he listened, because he knew I wouldn't put up with it. Another time my sisters boyfriend decked me, and it turned in to an all out fist fight in the middle of the street. Yes, men are usually stronger, but I don't need, or want one to protect/defend me, nor do I want them feeling like they have to. Sure there may come a day when I may need them to but until then I'll stand on my own two feet.
  • I only find it sexist when I am arging with a lady, and her man steps in to defend her point of view (right or wrong). It's not like it was a physical confrontation, just a battle of minds.
  • good question. no i do not! I like that my fiance protects me. I will protect him when i can. And, i will protect my children.... what's the difference? :-)
  • Great question! My answer is no. And here is why. People should always stick up for the one they love in the way they can and know best. Males happen to be (in general, but not always) physically stronger than women. So, in a physical way, males should be at the female's side in a potentially dangerous place. On the other hand, males sometimes do and say silly things that get them into trouble. Women can give them constructive and loving feedback to protect themselves from themselves. Sometimes these patterns do not apply, but in any case, each should use his/her strengths to support the other.
  • No.Any man who is dumb enough to try anything to hurt my g/f will pay a HEAVY price.And any man that would allow a woman to be hurt,wether he knows them or not,is not a man.
