A man threatened to rape me. People keep telling me not to make him angry.

I'm sorry that this is happening to you. But you're taking common sense self-security measures that people are suggesting and letting your own biases turn them into some goofy shit. If someone said, don't go mess with that hornet nest, they aren't saying it for the sake of the hornets' feelings. They're saying it because they care for you. Everyone takes certain measures for their own security. Don't be so proud and buy into bullshit to spite the patriarchy or whatever that you put yourself into more danger. We live in a real world. Whether it's fair or not, your actions can put you in harms way whether you like it or not. Male or female, doesn't matter. Keep yourself safe because you can't rely on others to do it for you.
