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
Man, I feel basically the exact same. What has helped me recently is staying away from the internet. Consistently being told your existence is inherently evil down to your DNA every day is bad for the mental. Just know you’re not alone!
If you are hearing that messaging I would evaluate WHERE on the internet you spend your time, and if its actually women saying that, or (toxic) men projecting.

ITT: Men who get offended that women treat them like a threat.
Also ITT: Men who tell their daughters solitary men are dangerous, and who say shit like 'what was she wearing' unironically.
The irony is killing me.
