    The point is that it doesn’t work the exact same if you just say, you’re not interested. Countless women, myself included, have made this experience. “Not interested” is met with “why not?”, " come oooon" “am I that ugly?” and “just give me a chance”. You can either spend 15 minutes saying " no" in varying degrees of politeness or 2 seconds saying “I have a boyfriend”.

        “Wahhh i walked into a community that didnt cater to me and started shitting on a post about harassment and now i’m being told my behaviour wasn’t good and this community won’t cater to me you are all MEAN and SEXIST”

        Fucking just admit you saw the image, thought it was a shitpost and acted accordingly. Throwing a gigantic tantrum just makes you look like a jackass.

        What does it do for you to ignore women’s explicit requests? Does it give you a thrill to push past our boundaries and ignore what we want? Does it make you feel more manly to ignore women’s requests and do what you want instead?

      It’s always the worst ones that ruin it for everyone.

      Also paradoxically the ones you want approaching you are more cautious about it or don’t approach so they don’t get grouped in with creeps like this. It selects for the people who approach women to be more creepy which makes the whole problem worse…
