I’m sorry about what happened to you but I do have a question for you. What advice would you give to the men and boys that have been collateral damage that would keep them on the right path, despite the bad experience so they do not become a part of the problem?

“Dudes want to know why you don’t respond in an openly friendly way when they greet you. Because today before you said “Good Morning”: An old man made that gross “mmm mmm” noise they like to make. (so disgusting. This is why I avoid old men.)”

no, that is not true at all. you can say to your friends “that’s not funny, don’t do that, women don’t like that”

This is the part that irritates the ish out of me. While I understand the why, don’t take that out on me for having home training and using said home training when I interact with you.

A simple Google search will answer all of your questions. Because the information is out there in boundless amounts. You’d grow old and deathly before you could read half the articles about women being harmed by men on a daily basis.

You need to understand the difference between frustration and being attacked.

Way to pull the “Fragile Ally” (TM) here.

“You THINK we understand your problems and simply don’t care.”

Maybe there’s a reason the women in your life don’t feel comfortable talking about their experience in this world as women with you in particular, or maybe they have tried and you just don’t listen

Now you know, and now you’ve been told. Even if it’s half of men, or 1/20, it happens to the point we consider our shoes, because not-nice nice guys don’t put it on their business card.

Oh god fuck this guy

Listen to women when they try to tell you something. I doubt no one has ever mentioned the subject before. You just weren’t paying attention.

Not this shit again. You’re the dude who swore you didn’t know how approach” women in that other thread and wanted us to give you a full comprehensive list on how to pursue us.

If you think I’m attacking you then you are the problem. I’m not fixing the way I speak to you simply because you don’t like what I’m saying. Save it for someone else foolish enough to listen to you. I don’t need your help. Help yourself.

I wouldn’t expect a woman to know if problems men have are common or not.

I see there are men that were born from other men, who have been raised by only men, have attended only men schools, worked in only manly places.

!!!!

It doesn’t happen to you because y’all are the ones doing it to us. I refuse to believe that you went your entire life without a woman in your life telling you that she once felt unsafe, threatened or scared of another man. Quit the scapegoating.

Dudes want to know why you don’t respond in an openly friendly way when they greet you.

“Giving our actual phone number to men we aren’t interested in because modern technology has made it such that everyone has a phone so they can call immediately to ensure the number is indeed ours.”
