Act like or look like prey... and they'll treat you like one.

Yeah, getting mugged and shot by black thugs is so manly

I can think of a few street corners in Liberty City or Overtown in Miami that if you spent 2 minutes standing on them, you would definitely realize that holding onto your man card isn't worth your life.

The "I dont feel safe" phenomenon may be part of the blurring of gender roles in America and the neutering of the American male.
or the other extreme where they conceal carry a "main carry sidearm", "backup firearm" in their sock, and a knife "just in case". Running around town looking like Tactical Tom all the time.
FWIW, I worked in the firearms industry for 5 years. I know the type.
Fear based marketing is very effective in the gun industry.

This is where they start back pedaling and tell you how tough the OT is.
This is the same board that thinks they’re more of an alpha for not drinking bud light.

Lol, we are going to the big city regardless...
That said, I'll double down and say it's a true man's obligation to his family and the families of the friends that will be with him to consider the circumstance he's bringing them into and having the prudence to choose an appropriate scenario therein.
YMMV

This question is gay as frick and you should lose your man card for being fricking weird enough to even think of it.

The caw never feels unsafe

You don't have to admit it. We can see it your eyes when you're walking around while visiting. It's apparent in your manner and your clothing as well. No dig, it just is what it is. The same way you could sniff out a city boy walking around Mamou.

Do you point these small town folk out to your wife’s kids?

Pronouns keep getting more and more confusing. By default I'm assuming that "you" is me, but who the frick is "we"?

"you" is generic small town people visiting the city. "We" is big city folk observing said visitors. Like I said, it's not a dig...just the way it is. Small things are apparent, like body movement to navigate the busy sidewalks, the eye reaction when a light changes and cars approach quickly, etc.

Context matters. did you hang out in the neighborhoods south of I-20? Did you stay in a 4 star hotel in midtown to uber over to a football game?
I would not feel safe living in many parts of Atlanta.
Also
I would feel safe living in many parts of Atlanta.
Visiting? Everyone should do research to know where to go. I would not be visiting the lower 4th ward if I was going to NO. No excuse there.

Thinking such a thing as a “Man Card” exists is itself unmanly.
Posted on 1/12/24 at 11:52 am to Violent Hip Swivel
Not feeling safe in a big city is a pretty normal thing. The wife and I aren't afraid of going anywhere, but everywhere we go, we use situational awareness. You have to know your surroundings and be prepared to deal with threats. Some pseudo masculine Man Card nonsense isn't going to prevent me from being smart about the environment I'm in.

I wouldn't say it..I just wouldn't go if I felt it
Posted on 1/12/24 at 11:53 am to Violent Hip Swivel
I definitely meet a lot of stereotypical rednecks from rural areas that say stupid crap like this, but New Orleans is straight up ridiculous right now. It’s so much worse than it was just 5 years ago. I used to never feel unsafe there, yet now, there’s a shooting nearby every time I go down there. I’m not even exaggerating at this point. And when I say “nearby” I mean within two blocks of where I’m standing at the moment I happen to be standing there.

Meh. I've lived in L.A. county, taken the Green Line from El Segundo to the Blue Line in Watts to downtown (7th). I've been all over this country and world.
I'm not overwhelmed or in awe of your cities or your lifestyles. Now by choice, I choose to live in the manner that suits me best.

I don't feel safe in many places. So I take jiu jitsu and carry firearms. It's the manliness things I can think of, and I do it specifically to mitigate not feeling safe.
