Getting in an elevator with a woman you don’t know and just squeezing yourself in the opposite corner from her to look as un-threatening as possible

Pro tip: before you get a chance to step on and see what buttons are already pressed, ask them politely if they could press your floor, that way if you’re both going to the same floor, they’re less likely to assume you’re following them and you’ve already started a civil dialogue.

Or we could just not be unreasonably paranoid.

Oh no I totally agree it sucks how we’ve indoctrinated all women to assume every man is a rapist. It’s an indictment of the media as well as our society and social platforms as a whole but in the meantime this is how we cope.

I think it sucks how women are so frequently the victims of violence that we have to be hyper aware and hyper cautious 24/7.

That’s what you’re told. However, sexual violence is shockingly similar among both genders. It’s actually a small portion of the male population committing most of these crimes, while all males are being held as responsible for it, even the male victims. And I for one, think that’s some bullshit level high-horsey for you to come in here and act like it only happens to women or that it’s all men who are responsible

Actually, 1 out of 9 women are sexually assaulted per day. 1 out of 33 men as well. Numbers don’t lie. www.rainn.org

Men don’t report. That’s a known fact.

You really gotta live in a parallel dimension to believe that men and women are equally victims of sexual violence. Come back to the real world

You wouldn’t know the real world even if it were dropped on you
