It’s okay!

I’ll agree with your first paragraph in that it does make sense to be afraid of men behaving aggressively from the get-go.

Hm, I suppose looking at pictures of people on Tumblr probably isn’t helping. They usually make me feel worse about myself... (but then again, a psychologist said I likely have depression, too, so I plan to get that sorted out with a doctor tomorrow as well and see if that might be the case...) Thanks a lot for your…

I hope you find that one day as well, it’s so hard on everyday life when you’re constantly questioning yourself. For me it started with simply just stopping caring, the hardest part, and then it’s the little things that help, like how cool my sunglasses are, or how badass I feel in my red boots. Sure I’ll tug at my…

Thanks, I appreciate it a lot. I’m sure it’d be nice in the future to be able to think about my appearance without getting depressed and such.

I just wanted to add! I do hope you one day find that self confidence in yourself, even if just a little to improve your self image. It took me a really long time myself, and it takes constant work and reminder to myself to not go back to how I used to view myself either, I know it’s really hard.

I’ve been away from the internet for awhile... must have built up a patience backlog...

for unpacking that so concisely—you have infinitely more patience than i. bless you. :)

If you’re into semantics, you should really know the difference between nice and good. Many psychopaths are nice. The guy in this story probably thought he was being nice to start with. Later events revealed him to be less than good, however.

I’m going to explain this once, in enough detail, and if you still don’t get it, I’m giving up.

Maybe instead of being a Nice Guy, you should try being a good person. Then there’d be less confusion.

In addition, I’ve seen some people say that this wouldn’t have happened if the woman had just been “polite” or “nice” and chatted with the man. Fuck that victim-blaming bullshit.

Well ideally it’s not supposed to be a dating site, which is why there is no search function for gender/age/location, but unfortunately some dudebros don’t get the memo. As a social media site to connect with your kinky friends and share interesting kink-related ideas it’s fabulous, and I’m serious when I say some of…

Not just the US. Latin America and parts of Europe are pretty notorious too.

Margaret Atwood. One of my favorite people in the world, for so many reasons. She is awesome

Men don’t get this; it’s about trying to guess which ones won’t take “no” for an answer. Doing that math can range from annoying to terrifying.

Every time I hear someone say that women should just accept catcalls as compliments or that they’re harmless, I start getting angry.

This really brings the quote “men are afraid women will laugh at them, women are afraid men will kill them” to life. Jesus.
