Dudes on my feed who are genuinely afraid to be around girls right now, please hear me out.
I see you. Some of you are very good friends of mine. Let's have a chat.
Please take a moment to really reflect on your fear. *Why* are you afraid?
If you really sit on this idea and think about it, it becomes more and more ridiculous. Verbal communication and basic decency solves this problem with ease.
Are you simply afraid that a woman would falsely accuse you of assault? It's an ugly question, what it implies.
But a lot of men are thinking it, whether they want to admit it or not.
But even if it makes you uncomfortable you need to address it
(Granted this is directed towards dudes on my feed who likely mean well but are being a bit ignorant over all of this, if a dude straight assaults somebody and tries to deny/victim blame they can fuck right off)
But if you genuinely want to ask questions for the sake of clearing things up (and not to just to deflect and try and discredit my point 🖕) feel free to ask away.
