From an IT article on international men's day. I had no idea OP was so thoughtful.

What exactly is pathetic? I am very delighted that most of the women you know are not walking around in a perpetual state of rape fear. I never stated that.

Of course the setting is an important factor. Walking down a poorly lit road, when you may be a bit intoxicated, or by yourself, hearing a group of people behind you. Anxiety and fear wrecks peoples brains. What is being highlighted that not everyone is the same. Sure fuck it a lot of the time when I am by myself walking, I would have my keys around my knuckles. Just in case, because I have been jumped on a number of times walking home after a night out.

But of course, your stance is then to attack me, the person that wants to highlight something that I have heard from many many women. But you think its horrifying that I exists, someone that is aware of peoples issues and try and calm them?

Just because you might be around a different set of women, does not mean that other women do not think / fear this.

your mindset is wrong, not because you haven't dealt or faced women with these fears, but you think no one has them and you attack the people that want to highlight it.

I find you pathetic, you have no power to think outside of your little brain at what other people might feel, and when someone challenges that you try and attack them.

100% bully
