This is what I'm talking about. You don't go there hiking with flip-flops or sneakers. Or in shorts. Or without emergency bivouac. Or without checking the weather report first. A clear blue sky can turn pitch black in less than twenty minutes with huge temperature drops. People are so out of touch with nature nowadays, they completely underestimate how rough conditions can get. And they're too lazy to do a just little bit of research.

I'm not kinkshaming...

Just because a woman says she's not comfortable with men doesn't mean all men. You all want it to be all men because y'all want to be a victim when you aren't.

Not all men, but somehow always a man.

No, see that's the stereotype BS we're talking about.

If you think all rapists are men, you're just a misandrist.

You think women locking their doors is misandry or whatever bullshit term you wanna use lmao I bet you think there's a white genocide too 🥺

Hobby clubs are great for meeting new people, just don't join them for the explicit purpose of meeting potential partners.

Is that why you complain when women talk about how they don’t like getting raped?

I didn't.

It bothers you when women are cautious and want to be safe and that somehow makes your life difficult?

Doesn't impact my life.

It's only going to get amplified as people lose more I fear

But then women start asking me if I'm gay, wtf is wrong with me and why am I so full of myself whenever I don't want to date and enjoy solitude

Yeah exactly, notice the homophobia.

The GRAND Canyon is... actually, very, very, VERY Grand.

It's a huge place, bigger than any I've ever experienced before or since. Considering it "overrun" with... anything would be quite a feat. You could fill it with everyone in America and you'd still have space left over for two or three California Condors.

has the sudden urge to spill the beans about his entire lovelife and the failures and tribulations experienced-

On second thought, NAHhhhhhh,....

Women who fall into this category aren't even in the dating pool.

He goes off and gets laid. She stays at home. Looks like everything works out. What's everyone arguing about? Both characters get exactly what they're signing up for, unless we have some users on Lemmy who really need to touch grass and realize that not every chick is locking their door lmao.

The problem isn't being "normal" which I'm sure is easy for neurotypicals, but for us awkward types not so much. I'm literally diagnosed "has trouble reading social cues" so yeah sometimes picking up on those might be harder than taxes.

But even normal men are seen as default rapists, assaulters, and murderers simply for being a man. I understand this is because many women have been assaulted before, but for some reason it still seems like painting an entire gender with a broad brush because of the actions of a small portion of that gender is "wrong." Maybe I only think that because it's wrong to do it to any other gender, or race, or sexual orientation, and so my broken neurodivergent brain says "well if it's wrong to do then it is wrong to do now." Like, I can't just assume every woman will cheat on me because 3 have, or that every woman will rape me because 2 have (3 if threatening suicide when I say no to convince me to begrudgingly do it counts, not sure since I eventually acquiesced but..) Nor can I assume every black guy is going to pull a knife on me just because it has happened once previously, and if I can count friends being stabbed it happened a lot back when a few of us lived in a particular neighborhood (all moved thankfully), and then there's the racist ol' "55% of crime is committed by 13% of the population" shit. Still with all of that, it's not right to paint those individual's entire demographic groups as the same, but it's fine just this one time?

Sorry, I'm just too dumb for such cognitive dissonance and ideological inconsistency, it's either wrong always or never.

The bitterly ironic part is that the men who took that to heart are the GOOD men, you know those that actually respect women and their wishes.

The asshole men, don't give a shit and keep wearing red hats and calling women FEMALES.

The whole movement has backfired hard and made it harder for women to find nice guys

The next human female was several hundred kilometers away...

...and probably more cold than "hot".

I've seen a lot of posts, articles etc with women making those exact complaints, and I always find them rather sad.

It's been made very clear that the majority of women don't want to be approached most of the time, especially by someone they don't know, and that's fair enough. You need to accept that you're the outlier.

People ask less questions if you shoot a bear.

How can you think it's proven as the only reason for their objection? And why do you think I'm a threat to women? Just because we've both been saying it's bad that men have this unfortunate stereotype?

At best, you would still only have correlation implying causation. But seriously, nothing in these comments shows your accusations as reasonable, let alone true.

So what you're saying here is that men are so dangerous and violent as a whole, that men need to protect themselves from the dangers of other men...

But women should stop taking precautions around men and stop constantly complaining about not wanting to get raped and murdered by men, because not all men are violent rapists and it hurts mens feelings?
