So you have an understanding of the implicit social norms surrounding how men interact with men without the need of a manifesto or syllabus, but you need a how-to guide on how to not sexually harass women?

You’re making the conversation be all about men, all about how women should fix it for men.
Um.... :/
No, there are no guidelines for how to interact with women. Because women are human beings with different personalities, boundaries, and interests.
Grabbing a stranger and making lewd comments towards them is not a gray area. It’s not a gray area in a casual situation, and it’s especially not a gray area in a…
We have very clear rules that define racism, and they are part of our social norms.
Nah, it’s not on us to stop you from behaving like a fucking creep. Don’t be a fucking creep, don’t touch women, don’t pursue them, don’t grope them, and don’t fucking tell us what to be angry about. Fix your own shitty behavior because Google is fucking free.
Women are autonomous human beings. They are not a thing to pick up and handle because you think they look good. They are not window displays advertising goods and services. You are not in a store and handling a product to see if you feel like buying it. You don’t get free samples.
This woman was at work. A women out in a social setting probably has different expectations for her interactions with men so flirting may not be unwelcome.
No, men are not left in a Catch 22. Leave people alone. Men don’t “get” women, that implies ownership and that’s exactly what encourages these types of behaviors. And where are you getting this pseudo-statistic that “a lot of women love that type of attention”? Thats gross and wholly untrue.
As a guy, I just want to say that this is tough. I want to be clear that the guys who did this stuff was wrong,
but men are left in a Catch-22. I’m sure I will be eviscerated, but here goes the reasoning.
Deliberately provocative - and may I add, highly unoriginal - namecalling will get you exactly nowhere, bruh. Especially when it’s Trump-level projection.
have you closely examined the consequences for your sisters, daughters, and other female relatives? the consequences of you refusing to listen that this is hurting black women? no one is talking about white women here except you.
ALWAYS??? Really? Do you avoid any of VSB’s posts about everything else? Well guess what? If men stopped raping, objectifying, harassing and just generally being asshats to women, we could stop talking about it. And boy do I wish that were the case. I wish we never had to discuss men’s bullshit behavior towards women…
Sooooo... you give “empathy and sympathy” to Natalie who experienced these situations with black men only to shit on it as well as the other experiences of other black women because painting this picture is disturbing?
First, I want to say.. Sis, I’m so sorry that happened to you...These are numerous fucked up encounters and I’m glad at least one person albeit a white woman took you seriously and helped you.
Oregon = Florida with trees.
Being faced with a decision—even between two positive things—can be a source of stress. Make life easier on yourself…
You and me both. I have intensely passive-aggressive contests with one of my beloved flatmates who likes the temperature to hover somewhere between the Arabian desert and the surface of the sun. I, being a normal, like it somewhere around 21°-22°C (aka 70°-72°F in American). So every time one of us passes the…
It “basically deals with the most important moral question, facing us, which is, why isn’t there a Victorian Female Batman?”
Fuck, I miss Andy Hallet.
