I usually stay away from these (viral social issues) but, as a guy, if you are making a woman uncomfortable like this, you aren’t a “victim” of feminism - you are the problem.
If you can’t tell the difference, then you need some female friends in your life to explain it to you.
Guys who have a younger sister might have a *small* insight into how different it is.
It’s literally a universe of difference. This is where the power dynamic reveals itself. Just look at her face.
Imagine making a person feel that way. And then deciding to keep going.
This reminds me of a video where a woman was walking to work, or maybe a college class, and recorded a guy who wouldn’t stop following and trying to talk to her.
Can you imagine dealing with that as soon as you walk out your door in the morning, until you go home?
Not the same.
I also saw a lot of standard “men are animals,” comments, which are divisive bs, like everything on social media.
Not going to touch that.
Just be good to other human beings. It’s pretty basic.
Yes, it applies to women too. Happy to have a separate discussion there if needed.

It’s important to understand that this software is a product of Israeli intelligence members partnering with the private sector to produce spy tools for profit, and wide usage.
They have been entirely dishonest about how it is used. A recent PR release shows their spin.
Iranian Intelligence Services Allegedly Plotted to Kidnap a Brooklyn Journalist, author and Human Rights Activist from New York City for Rendition to Iran.
Iranian Intelligence Officials Indicted on Kidnapping Conspiracy Charges
The network that Farahani directs has also targeted victims in other countries, including victims in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates, and has worked to procure similar surveillance of those victims.
Why is there “a service offering military-style speedboats for self-operated maritime evacuation out of New York City?”
I know people get tired of talking - and hearing - about the fact that the GOP has been doing some of these things for decades, but this is why I keep bringing it up.
Conservatives have been hearing these things since they were children.
Nothing that Trump has done is more than just an incremental evolution.
Undoing “Trumpism,” is undoing 30+ years of toxic and divisive messaging that people have internalized since they were kids, riding in the car with their parents.
Nick Taurus only did this after the Orange County GOP sent out invitations to him and other Republicans, telling them they should go to Porter’s event and “press her.”
Notice the language he is using (hordes of immigrant voters) tracks closely with the “white replacement theory” propaganda that Tucker Carlson and InfoWars have been ratcheting up, where they warn that Dems are part of some sort of plan for a “genocide” of white people.
Excellent news, Biden just fired the Trump appointee who was sabotaging work in the Social Security Administration and delaying checks to SS beneficiaries.
We began trying to raise alarms about this - and point out that there was a path for action - about 3.5 months ago, so this is excellent, and very welcome news!
Notice in these videos, Republicans focus on an ideological commitment to blocking the will of the majority, claiming that’s the basic reasoning behind our republic.
This is how they’re able to avoid talking about *what* specifically they are blocking.
This is similar to the way libertarians take one core part of the constitution - “the right to do what I want” - and then ignore the rest of it, taking a sliver of truth and turning it into an ideology, nearly religious in nature.
It is similar to the way propaganda is created.
Taking HR-1 as an example, we know that the bill itself is highly popular, even among conservatives - based on their own internal polling.
This is why they are very careful to frame their language, sticking to the ideology and avoiding the actual policy.
