This is missing the entire point.
The fact that I have to go out of my way to make myself seem less like a threat, simply because of who I am, so that I'm treated like a human. There is this idea that you should be able to be yourself and not apologize for it. But I have to run through situations and make sure I do things, but not too much. I can't just keep to myself without being treated like I'm some threat. It's insulting and it errodes empathy.
Women should not have to sacrifice their safety for your comfort.
Who the fuck is saying this? I'm asking to be treated like a person and not a predator simply because of my gender. I thought treating people poorly based solely on their gender was wrong. Guess that only goes one way.
What are women doing to make me feel like they won't attack me? Do they have to disprove stereotypes just to be treated like a person? No. I have to make sure I make women feel comfortable and do this checklist of things just to be treated normally? I can't just keep to myself?
Why can't we just treat people like people and not judge an entire gender, on either side, with one sweeping stroke.
