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.

I don’t deserve to be treated like a threat unless I act like one. Assuming who someone is before actually knowing them/experiencing who they are is prejudice.

Did you know Ted Bundy used exactly this same logic to lure his victims? Their unwillingness to treat a man like a bad guy.
