    I imagine that black men view the question as particularly insulting

    Because we live in a country that already perceives black men as animals.

    So seeing so many women recently affirm that perception likely is extremely isolating. Because this is the sort of ideology that gets black men murdered

      why would black men find a thread full of comments about women fearing for their safety to be insulting?

        Because white tears cause black scars. As Emmitt Till found out

        When men are seen as threats, this translates into the murder of men, particularly those who are in national minority groups. Black, brown, immigrant, Muslim, etc men are threatened by this type of discourse, at least within the United States

        Which is kind of what BLM was all about - that black men are just people and are not dangerous super predators like many white people, including white women, seem to think
