Well, partially facetious here (although it really is a problem) but men are notoriously much higher in statistical likelihood to inflict violence upon you so if she indicates there’s one of them around it’s kind of a public service announcement. Sort of like saying “I’m sick and it’s very contagious, please keep your distance and do not interact with me for the sake of your own safety”.
Likewise it’s okay to grimace sympathetically and offer your condolences for this terrible burden afflicting her life and wish her to stay safe and get through it without lasting injury!
This, right here. I’ve had a couple of male partners who were very temporary burdens. Most have been fine to great, and the one I’ve been with for well over 20 years is a gem.

My male partners are not terrible burdens afflicting my life. I love them deeply and they love me.
Men can be wonderful, caring, supportive partners. It’s against the rules to generalize against any group here.
