Sorry to disappoint you, but I really am not.

Of course the two things are different. I was responding to "[f there is the remotest chance that the woman might find it threatening then...], and I presented a scenario in which someone may find something that is not dangerous, to be threatening. That's all.

You are saying that people trying to make the world nicer for other people is something that must be dissected and analyzed? Why do you give up your seat for the pregnant lady etc? I'm not arguing that it's not destructive, I'm arguing that it does not stem from some deep seated patriarchal conspiracy to keep women…

Red flag suggesting what? That he's pure evil? Perhaps he just thinks and processes things differently than you do.

Perhaps. People doing nice things for other people usually makes the givers and the recipients feel a bit better. Sorry people say stuff you don't like. Hopefully it stops soon, well, I hear it stops when you get older, so that's something to look forward to, I guess.

No comparison was made between slavery and catcalling. I showed that one cannot deem something to be inappropriate or unjust based on how a person feels about it.

Well, if I didn't know what academic meant, I would have just looked it up in the dictionary. It's not that hard. I am on the internet after all. It's not an assessment, just that I noticed that her twists were nice, and I figured I'd mention it to her, harmlessly, as I bounced past. Well, I used to, I don't anymore.…

Oh, then I guess we misunderstood each other. Sorry about that.

uh... ok. I guess.

Like fucking normal, how else would they react. "Yeah, I been hitting the weights a while now. Benching round 250. Can't leave out the squats though".

Because they wouldn't like to hang offa that. It would be a lie. Unless they gay, in which case, go on wit yo bad self. But men do compliment each others' bodies though. "Bro, you got some good girth on those arms. Whaddya bench? 220? 250?".

Street harassment? Are we talking about 2 different things here? Is the guy in the subject of the article harassing her on the street by giving her a compliment?

No, actually. I don't talk to women in public at all. Because what was supposed to be simple and clean and carefree is now mired in all kinds of tiresome shit. I mainly speak to dudes in public, mainly about sports and video games and what not. I'm just intrigued by this inflated sense of self worth that makes someone…

No! It's intrusive.

Chill out, yo. Wait a few years. When you're older, they will stop caring.

What? Of course we do. "Yo G, them kicks is toite, bro". "what up with them rims bro, special edition?". "You have a cannon of a right hand, man. Good fight".

But that is fucking hilarious though. Had it been another woman she may have liked that goofy ass shit.

It's ok. When you get older, they'll stop caring.

Are you that important/special that you should not be subject to human interaction like everybody else? Do you find "ma'am may I see your ticket please" to be an interruption as well? Maybe you should leave it at home.

This is incorrect. Something cannot be deemed inappropriate because a person feels threatened. There needs to be a standard. The statement "black people should be free" is a threatening statement to an 18th century plantation owner. Or "The policeman had his gun in his holster. I felt threatened". Perspective needs to…
