There wouldn't be many men left, which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. Remaining ones would have to be taught from an early age that they need to be super careful around women, and it is their fault if they get shot.

Why not, since the current world seems to be good enough for most people? If you try to appeal to reason and morals and nothing significant happens and you even get called out for it, what else can you do?
@hypolite @starbreaker The same reason we don't cure a victim's wounds by stabbing their attacker.
If women having to fear all men is crappy, so is men having to fear all women.
I want a better world for everyone not a different set of privileged and oppressed.

Conversely, if men shouldn't have to live in terror of women's anger, then neither should women, queer people, trans people, and non-binary people have to live in fear of men's anger. :)

So we don't have a world in which getting shouted at/punched because someone is in a bad mood is replaced with a chance of getting shot to death.
Maybe we should have a world where people don't shout at other people or punch them just because they're in a shitty fucking mood?
If we're going to wax idealistic then why not go whole hog?
