No, no it shouldn't. The reason we have patriarchy at all is millennia of male violence. Your notion that people should avoid pushing for social change because guys may hurt or kill them is a) abhorrent, and b) exactly why we need the social change.
Where did I say that people should avoid pushing for social change? I pointed out the effect of a tool: shaming. It's bad for people and as the article says it can lead to violence.

Social change is good. Shaming is a bad tool.

Please describe three social changes you are making happen and your shame-free techniques.
