      This is not offensive so much as being completely unreasonable to make a point of how unfair the world is perceived to be. And that’s just boring and annoying because it is overused and can be dismissive.

      I also don’t support executing those narrow e scooter 🛴 thingamajig drivers even though they are a danger to themselves and bikes. Even though it would solve problems.

      I get where it is coming from, but it is quite sexist.

      Would be better if it wasn’t needed, but with this you are punishing everyone because of the actions of a few.

        But women don’t get the privilege of being nuanced. It only takes 1 man to rape. It doesn’t matter if she walks past 65 other perfectly nonviolent men, if none of them take any action to prevent the 1 from being a problem.

            Call their guy friends out when they can see they’re heading down the wrong paths, socially and mentally. Educate them. Uplift the women in their lives. Take note of random men behaving suspiciously. Use their position of privilege to do literally anything.

            Tons of Palestinians live in Gaza, so that must mean its safe right?

          And if she’s dressed wrong, or doesnt scream loud enough, or has ever been open with her sexuality, the narrative woll be that it was her fault.

      As a man who got here from All, I’m not offended at all, more ashamed of my fellow men.

      I have a wife and daughter, so I’m perfectly fine with this.
