This happened to me irl. They ask me to mess a bit with tarot cards and as they’re leaving they tell me “You’d go think about stuff before go you out dating. All men are predators”. When I ask them that sounds incredibly prejudiced they just respond with “It’s in the studies”. I was perfectly fine when feminism meant egalitarianism but thats is oughtright stupid vitriol that’s gonna help noone.
People like you are why dating makes me nervous. I end up scrutinizing actions that haven’t happened and make myself feel guilty for things I can’t control.
And women are nervous in dating because if they trust the wrong person, they might get raped and murdered. Unfortunately, in the reality we live in, dating can’t really be carefree. With more systemic issues addressed, perhaps it can be.
Go ahead and read again what I wrote. I haven’t killed anyone, don’t plan to, don’t want to, and can’t control anyone who does.
All men should aspire to be like you, then. We’d have a much safer world that way.
Sure, but they don’t know, people lie. If we put in a balance your feeling being hurt vs them being murdered and/or raped, I’d say that unfortunately it’s better for now for you to feel bad.
Get mad at the system of patriarchy that created this situation
And we can only do that with a coalition of people to support that cause. Blaming and segmenting people for existing does nothing but weaken the base of support.
