You're proving her point. If men move further right, they're just exacerbating their own problems. Women choosing to be emotionally and financially safe doesn't drive men further right. Men choose to move further right.

Women are allowed to notice that the world is being made unsafe for us financially, emotionally and physically. If that angers men and makes them dig their heels in and demand women accept being unsafe, that's men's wrongdoing. Not women's.
