Isn’t it weird?

Isn’t it [i]weird[/i] how almost every woman has a story of an angry man calling her a whore for not wanting to talk to him and then trying to follow her home, while somehow almost no man has ever seen this or done anything to intervene?

Normally people try to avoid conflict especially when it doesn't involve them, I probably would not because I don't want to help but because I don't want to get myself in trouble. I don't know where you live but it's sad, I rarely hear about such things in my country.

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Glad to know you value your own comfort over someone getting harassed in public

@TiffAching Don't point the finger at me, there are cops for this. You have NO right to guilt people for valuing their own safety more.

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Oh, so now you’ve escalated it to your personal safety, as opposed to just “getting in trouble.” It must be exhausting to be such a fragile creature.

@TiffAching If you're so strong then why do you whine about people not coming to your aid? If you're so strong unlike me you wouldn't be complaining like this

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic This coming from a grown-ass adult who [i]by his own admission[/i] is too chickenshit to say, “Dude, cut it out” to a creep harassing women at a bar.

@TiffAching Why is it my job? Because I'm a man? A bit sexist are we?
TiffAching · 26-30, F
@DrSunnyTheSkeptic You’re the first and only one to bring up your gender here, and no. Helping out someone getting harassed is the right thing to do [i]because it is scary as hell to get harassed[/i], and people who aren’t self-righteous cowards will do the right thing.
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@TiffAching As I said again, you can't blame for people choosing their safety above others, it's only natural. You can't point the finger and whine while doing nothing yourself.
TiffAching · 26-30, F
@DrSunnyTheSkeptic You’re the only one here bragging about doing nothing to intervene.
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@TiffAching and you are calling me a coward while you would do the same
TiffAching · 26-30, F
@DrSunnyTheSkeptic No, honey, you’re still projecting. [i]You’re[/i] the one who opened by saying you would do nothing because you don’t want to “get in trouble,” and when called on that you got [i]furious[/i] and suddenly started claiming it was for fear of personal safety, ‘member?
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@TiffAching if not for personal safety why else would I not intervene? Getting in trouble and safety concerns are synonymous in this case, something you have trouble understanding, honey.

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic Lil’ britches, momma can’t go around making your arguments for you any more, sweety. At the end of the day, anyone who sees someone getting harassed in public and chooses not to intervene has decided that they would rather live in a world where that person got harassed than one where they did anything to stop it (which, again, can be as simple as a “Dude, what the fuck” or simply telling security). Go watch your cartoons, bubby bear.

@BluntSm0ker No, honey, rape culture is when you brag about having stories of stalking women and expect other dudes to cheer you on

@BluntSm0ker Again with this claim that I hate men. Isn’t it interesting that you see someone complaining about men who harass women and then jumping to the conclusion that the complainer must hate [i]all[/i] men?

Think about what that says about how [i]you[/i] view men—that every single man regularly harassed women—and then tell me who really thinks less of men. Is it the person who says, “Wow, this group of men who harassed women does some pretty shitty stuff. Come on, guys, you can do better” or is it the person who says, “[i]Fuck you[/i], bitch, no we can’t!” and threatens to rape the first?

(EDIT: In the strictest, most limited sense, I must admit that there are at least two men in the world who I do hate, so in that respect I do “hate men.”)
