If you're talking protection in the physical sense, for 99% of women you're absolutely wrong.

I'm in the military and there are only a few women I know who would hold their own in a fight against a similarly fit man. I can think of maybe 1 off the top of my head.

Years of evolution made us this way, it can't just be undone by an egalitarian sentiment.

True, there are physical differences that are hard to overcome without help. But there is a lot of help out here in the modern world. Pistols, stun guns, pepper sprays, and other self defense techniques are just an example.
