If they were such noble protectors sex tracking, porn, prostitution ect would be known as an evil we had in our past. They would not make excuses for pedophilia. They say stuff like man saved family or man saved his dog. I'm like their are stories of women doing the same thing. Men are more in likely to kill their wives or girlfriends. Its not uncommon for man to kill his family then commit suicide.

Women were the ones who raised consent laws, started early education to be requirement over child labor, taught men to be clean when being doctors, supported working class men having shorter hours to work with good wage, advocated for legal rights of married women and mental health patients ect.. Men highly exaggerate how protective they were in the past. Its scary what they could lock women up for in insane asylum.
