Women, what casual things do men do that unintentionally make you feel unsafe?

I get scared of men in general sometimes not because I assume the worst, but because certain behaviors make me feel unsafe. Things like:
prolonged staring
walking behind me
standing too close
getting aggressive when rejected
slowing down their car near me, or catcalling… they all trigger a sense of fear. It’s not personal, it’s a pattern. I just wish more men understood how these seemingly casual things can feel threatening.

@mindstruggle I get that but also you have to convay what your feeling. If all of that is going on they must find you attractive its a compliment nothing more try to see it as such
@mindstruggle Yep! Women pay attention to the subtle signals and men often don't understand that their "game" just comes off as aggressive. Good response. 😁👍

@mindstruggle I actually followed this question because I wanted to know. I wanted to read the replies and take notes. So there's at least one of us out there who understands.
@Bklynbadboy12 You don’t get it. It’s not a compliment if it’s unwanted. 🙁

@Bklynbadboy12 So you're saying that if you were sitting in a bar minding your own business having a drink after work, and some guy walked up and said you had a nice аss, and asked if you ever bottomed, and then offered to buy you a drink, you wouldn't be a little creeped out?
@LordShadowfire Not sure what gave you that impression. If Mindstruggle has any questions I'll answer them. Have a good one.

@WowwGirl What is? Shadow?

@SinlessOnslaught shadow, the reflection your body or limbs make when standing in front of a light. Like a low contast or reflective visual your body creates

Kids play shadow puppets on walls by a light pointing towards their hand.

@mindstruggle Its systemic and trained that men are entitled be able to.whatever they want, while that couldnt be farther from the truth, we need to do like the what happened to the agressive babboons make them suffer and soon the rest will learn agression is bad
@WolfGirlwh0r3 Haha I get where you're coming from. A lot of the world has a culture of nationalism and a specific concept of what a "man" should be, which is slightly different between cultures, but generally just toxic af and unnecessarily aggressive.

It's not new, it's not unique to any region of the world, it's been a constant since the beginning of history.

It's best to accept that we can do very little about it and just change ourselves. I am being MY idea of what a man is, even if that sometimes means backing down to keep the peace. Nobility is often greater than victory in a game you can refuse to play.
