That window breaker appears to be a combo seat belt cutter and is a good item to have in your car in general. Didn’t know they were primarily marketed to women.

I had an uncle that wouldn't go walking without brass knuckles and a chain because he was scared of getting mugged.

He lived in the most upper class suburban neighborhood I've ever seen but the conservative talk shows had just poisoned his mind, he was afraid of everything.

It's a sad state of affairs, but that's how it is. As a veloci er... regular human being that happens to be male, I can see why this happens. And one of the main problems we still have as a society is that when something happens to a woman, one of the things many assholes ask first is: "how was she dressed?" As if somehow it was the woman's fault because the poor man couldn't help it.

Yo, that door lock doesn't do shit. If you're in a hotel room and want extra security, there's a couple of better options.

This is the single best one.

Huh, I'd never thought about window breakers in that context.

I'm a man, and after seeing this I'm definitely buying the door lock thingy to prevent another man (3 years old son) getting into my office yelling during another meeting.

Honestly didn't know it existed

Men must really have weak hands, feet, eyes, and skulls compared to women, and be much harder to see. Sounds rough.

This kind of difference is always quite profound IMO. "Things for men" and "things for women" in almost every context is going to give different results. Doesn't matter if it's ppe or personal defense, or safety.... In almost all cases, there's going to be different results if you include gendered terms in your search.

I imagine "support" would yield a very different result when including your gender too. But like I said, far from the only examples.

I have the sudden urge to want to buy thigh high steel toe boots with built in knee pads. If such boots exist.

Ya we need more women in construction

Blame seo

Genuinely curious what is the door lock thing?

In other words, women actually have weapons

jkhjh

Ok, but if we redact the question to

"safety stuff commonly bought by men/women" it makes common sense now.

There is no visibility vest, helmet, hard boots, pepper spray, taser, that You will have to prove Your gender before buying! Everyone can buy them.

Ok, maybe hardwork boots be a problem, womens commonly have smaller shoe sizes, blame stores for not having small sizes.

Let's move to the questions, why bicycle helmets are less popular by women, while bikes are awesome for all gender? why visibility vest are less popular for women (do they commonly care bout fashion over safety?) why stun gun and pepper sprays are less popular by men (guess commonly, yes, commonly, not always, but still commonly men are more strong for self protection, rarely wear height heels that prevent escaping, girls, go hit gyms and boxing clubs? /s?) Also everyone should have some solid door lock protections, whatever vs burglars, or door-to-door sellers
