Tucker mentioned not too long ago that the herd instinct is very strong in humans, up there with sex and food. I know the joke about people being sheep, but there is an element of truth to that. We can sneer at it as people not thinking for themselves, but if you look at the root, it is really about survival - safety in numbers, so to speak. The need for a tribe is in our DNA. So I don't see it so much as a bad thing, but more that we need each other in order to thrive and also to know how to recognize the proverbial wolves among us.

I will say the Trans fight against women has been going on longer than most people realize - it just wasn't reported daily. I don't think it is so much that women aren't self-reliant; it is IMHO complicated by the fact that there is a real threat of violence that women have to deal with. Look at the videos that have been published - that one high school where that feisty girl took on the ass who decided he was a girl to enter the locker room. He was probably twice her size and he punched her publically when she confronted him. There is a reason the trans issue is so one sided. You don't hear stories about women identifying as men in locker rooms because they know they run a real risk in doing so.
