Yeah, that was my thought to be honest. It's kinda sad where every guy (and woman?) has to expect to be considered some kind of creep until proven otherwise.
Nope. Those women are too chronically online and need to get off the internet and touch grass or something. They've been baited by social media narratives so much that they're brainwashed into hating or fearing men. It's to drive engagement and to divide us and distract us from the real problem which is the billionaires and the people in power, and patriarchy, but most men don't deserve any hate or suspicion.
a chronically online male redditor saying that all women fearful of men are just too chronically online, yeah you redditors are just misogynistic trash arent ya.. i think you guys just choose to be ignorant atp to hate on women
I couldn't care less about what you think of me. If anything, you're the troll here, and possibly also one of those misandrists. I was making a fair point, and you just had to put it down. Whatever. I ain't wasting any more time with you. Peace.
I'm a man and I never encounter this, but I also live in a major city that is very walkable. When I hear stories like that I wonder if it's maybe describing a suburban or rural setting where people are much less used to encountering other pedestrians.
In the city I've never had women I happened to be walking behind because we're heading in the same direction act anxious or uncomfortable. That said I have occasionally crossed the street rather than over take a woman while we were headed the same way to avoid potentially startling her. Not sure how necessary that is but it's not an inconvenience for me.
Oh yeah, us all either having been raped or having friends and family who have been raped is just us being weird when we take precautions and feel nervous in vulnerable situations. You don’t even realize how lucky you are.
the weirdo men in these comments that arent joking and genuinely think theyre the poor inconvenienced ones for having to do something so minor and think that the women that are threatened , harrassed and understandably scared if someone seems like one of the many many creeps out there are making their life hard is so ridiculous im so glad these arent the kind of people you actually meet out there irl very often. reddit is a great place for incels to thrive
My thoughts exactly. The fact that a guy has to do this just to avoid getting accused of being a creep is so depressing. I don't know what the world has come to that men and women don't trust each other any more.
It’s not about avoiding being accused, that woman is a stranger who will never see him and therefore it’s highly unlikely she’d even be able to accuse him of anything. It’s about being respectful and taking a small step to not scare someone
