Women would get raped or killed

By whom? 🤔

And yes it does make sense that the physically stronger sex becomes the protector. Feminists will agree with you on this.

But they will take immediate issue with your supposition that men therefore need to be emotionally repressed in order to protect women from… most often, themselves.

I don’t know where that comes from. Emotionally repressed? I agree men doesn’t need to be emotionally repressed.

  The perceived need you talk about was very real.
  
  Well the perceived need I talk about had to do with emotional repression, so looks like you badly misunderstood.
