But counterpoint; why do you care what other people feel around you? The best response to women scared you’re going to rape them is to not rape them.
Anything past that is your own insecurity and need for emotional validation. Sure, you could devote time and energy into being an activist in whatever forms you want, but some strange lady you don’t know is still going to cut across the sidewalk when they see you approaching. AND YOU CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. DEAL WITH IT.
Men “overcompensating” for this valid fear is what’s driving movements of really stupid, shitty men who like to roleplay stories on reddit how they had the cops called on them for hanging out near a playground. We don’t need to do this. Make the world better, make your emotional state better. Don’t worry what other people feel or think, you will never be broadly loved by everyone, or even broadly accepted by everyone. You’ll be lucky if you have several people in your ENTIRE LIFE who trust you. That’s the sticks. Sorry kid.
edit: i stand by it, and the screaming “sexism!” outrage only further validates my belief that you’re all living in a fantasy world online where you think someone is coming. Where you think things are going to change.
NOBODY IS COMING. You have to adjust your own thinking and feeling about the world if you’re going to survive it. It gets so much worse guys, these little issues with women thinking you’re bad? You will wish one day that was the worst issue you ever had to juggle over in your head, if you can get past it sooner than later you will save yourself and your loved-ones a lot of heartache as you have your inevitable meltdown we all have eventually.
I’m also empowering the men who do need to hear this. Nothing is black and white, I accept that my message my make some people uncomfortable and that’s not my problem honestly. As you get older you realize that truth is something most people dance around and avoid. All of us. And you’re just going to burn yourself to the ground trying to reconcile these things you just can’t fucking change, but keep telling yourself lies that the world will change for you.
Nobody is coming. You need to deal with pain and let it go so you can live a fulfilling life with other people. You are the ONLY one who can make that happen.

Bad take, you’re dismissing society’s effect on the psyche of many men by saying these things
