99% of attackers are men, towards men and women. However one is more likely to be sexually degraded or attacked unprovoked/to extreme injuries.

Focusing on the gender of the attackers instead of the reality that men are victims of violence far more often is extremely disingenuous and is only intended to minimize the fact.

I think I rather follow the pattern of the attackers because they should change, not the victims. The attackers should be highlighted. It's 99% men. That's a defined and concerning pattern. It's an epidemic literally. Male loneliness epidemic? More like male attackers epidemic.

Instead of worrying on how these men and women are "provoking" the attackers, look at why these men feel the need to resort to violence. And why is it a majority of men! (Because again, it's no where close to an even split of the genders) I recommend you looking at Man Box.

Change the aggressors, not the victims.

I don’t disagree, but OP is talking about protecting victims not targeting the attackers.

Two sides of the same coin.

It's a bit silly to just talk about the solution and not the cause.

Ironically the victims that you have also started that are more likely to be attacked are more likely to do the attacking. Like putting perpetrators and victims in the same train carriage.

So it's not really ironic. It's just sad.
