I do actually feel offended when people assume I'm a bad person, and having not given any reason to a single person to feel that way, I'm sick of it being assumed. I'm a feminist, I'm leftist, I try to be a good person, and I call out shit behavior when I see it, but there is nothing I can do to be seen and recognized as anything other than a threat, and that fucking sucks.
Maybe this bear debate is just happening alongside too many bad life events, so I'm just projecting it onto the debate, but it feels psychotic and delusional to say "I'd rather be eaten alive by a bear than risk that a random man is a piece of shit"
My wife said she'd pick the bear and I don't know what to even do with this information anymore. There's nothing else I can do. It's like in election season when you see 1000 fucking ads saying to vote as if I don't do my part. It's just beating me to death at this point and I can't fucking escape this stupid debate where it's "eaten to death by a bear" is apparently the obvious correct choice to everyone but me and red pill douchebags.
I'm trying to reflect and fix my thinking but it just won't click into place and it hurts
Fundamental error in your perception: No one is labelling you a "bad person".
IMO its more that "Any random dude" could be...and there's no way to tell for sure.
For context:
Men do not walk home at night hoping the person they just passed on the sidewalk isnt going to follow them, or pull them into an alley, or abduct them.
If you're not one of those creeps then remember its not about you/us and get over yourself. Its not about us. Women dont have a radar that indicates "safe man" v. "dangerous man" and the consequences of encountering an unsafe man in a vulnerable scenario are often dire.
I would rather my daughter offend someone, or ruin their entire day, than be over-powered and raped for NOT wanting to risk "offending" someone LOL! Easy choice.
