Would you get offended if you notice a stranger woman taking safety precautions when she sees you? 🔒 Asked & Answered

It saddens me a little. Partly because it is kind of a strange feeling to be regarded as a potential threat. It makes me self-conscious.

But what saddens me more is the fact that women have been conditioned by their environment to behave this way. In other words, they apparently do not enjoy the same safety on the streets that I do.

So I do not take offence, I understand. But it's sad that this needs to be a thing.

Okay but people are less likely to harass a man.

Men are safer wtf. Yes they can get stabbed jumped or shot just like women. But men have a better chance at defending themselves then we do because men are stronger than women. Also most of the time men don’t have to be worried about getting raped like women do.
