I could spontaneously combust tomorrow, but I don’t build my life around that. Interacting with people has a risk associated with it. For women, this risk is much higher. For men, now with things like #metoo, the risk has been raised. If you are out talking with a woman and get weird/bad vibes, politely excuse yourself and stop interacting with them. Don’t dig a deeper hole. The majority of woman will let you know if they are not interested. Poor social skills does not excuse behavior which makes someone feel unsafe.

Yes, that was my entire point. The movement didn't only mean that more Weinsteins got what they deserved. It also lowered the bar of what is considered "creepy" and raised the risks of behavior which is perceived as such, whether legitimately or not.


A lot of people basically don't have strong enough urge to fcuk. Something is skrewed with the chemistry. Social aspects are just noise around it.


What right does society have to demand that men act docile? Nobody cares an iota for our SAFETY, let alone our comfort.

A society that isn't built on reciprocation is not a society worthy of my respect.
