The Car Keys Defense

AKA "Car Keysing"
When a woman uses a real but unrelated example of physical danger as an excuse for harmful or toxic behavior by herself or other women towards men. The goal of "The Car Keys Defense" is to try to shut down a man's complaint about problems men face in modern dating life and/or wider society by bringing the discussion to women feeling unsafe, which will always trump a man's feelings. The term comes from women often citing they must "carry car keys between their knuckles when walking alone" to avoid discussing in some instances men are harmed by women's behavior online or in real life.
"I don't like when women just use Tinder for compliments. You know it's easy for you to find dates, but for men that's wasting their limited swipe rights they could have used for someone actually interested. It's harmful."
"Excuse me, I don't want to hear about men's problems when women have to walk with their car keys between their fingers at night because they are terrified of what a man might do to them. Nope. Sorry. Don't care."
"Don't use The Car Keys Defense just because you have unique and real problems of your own doesn't mean you can cause problems for others."

"I think it's really hypocritical that women have spent the last decade fighting for body positivity in media but see no problem with openly stating they won't date men under 6 feet. It's really hypocritical."
"Aw poor baby doesn't get enough matches? I have to make sure I give a friend what address I'm going to and a time I'll text back so they know I haven't been raped and murdered on a date, but go off about how women were mean to you."
"Car Keysing just to defend toxic body expectations? Slay queen!"
