Here comes the truth. Listen carefully. No, women don't need their fathers, brothers and the police (mostly male) and all the other male workers unless and until it's a man's world. Now, it is a man's world, men attack women, that's why men around women are asked to protect the women, although knowingly most of them do shit. Most of the kidnappers, rapists, murderers of women are men. And most of the paid jobs in the world, most of the money and power in the world are in the hands of men. It passes from men from one generation to men of the next generation by patrileneal inheritance of power and money, and continuous diacrimination against women, continuous war on women, controlling women, intimidating and blackmailing women through fear, tricks and taking advantage of women's less physical strength, their weak point for their children, parents and siblings, their vulnerability at the hand of patriarchy. So, what are you even talking about? If one fictional day, it becomes a woman's world, or, all the women's brains become interconnected, women won't need men at all and live freely like dignified human beings in the world for the very first time.
