Here from yuki_onna

Are you actually a troll or just an unbelievably superficial reader? The OP does in fact say

But I was your typical nerdy dude who was totally pro-feminism but could still pull out Mansplainin' 101 about how Women Don't Appreciate Nice Guys and Of Course No One Deserves To Be Raped But If You Walked Through Central Park At Night Flashing a Roll of Cash... and other classics in that vein.


Which is exactly the analogy you've just whipped out. Oh, dear.

And, in any case, the "actions that increased the odds that they would be targeted" to which [livejournal.com profile] yuki_onna and the OP alluded were "expressing opinions in a public place while identifying as female". Which, as numerous examples both in [livejournal.com profile] yuki_onna's post and testified to by personal experience by large numbers of women who've done it demonstrate, in terms of risk-taking behaviours probably is equivalent to stumbling drunk round Central Park waving a wad of cash, but - as per the current debate - we rather think shouldn't be.
