It’s brave to step in like that.
We gotta look out for each other in the age of misogyny
So like… all the ages?
I’m a dude. I was in the Bahamas on a trip and there was a girl in our group who was a drop-dead gorgeous black woman. The Bahamian men were going ape over her. She and I were walking along the beach, and men kept coming up, asking if I was her boyfriend, and when I said no they’d start proposing marriage and shit.
She informed me my job the rest of the day was to say “Yes” if a random dude asked if we were dating/married/etc.
You all are celebrating something bad. It’s bad to assume a guy hitting on someone cannot take “no” for an answer. It’s bad to assume people cannot enjoy being hit on. It’s bad to assume a guy willing to shoot their shot is a creep.
Ya’ll are part of the loneliness problem. Do better and stop assuming the worst of others. You’re not smart. You’re not helping. You’re paranoid weirdos.
Now, if the message said that this was after he was following her around the gym, then THAT is commendable. Though assuming all that off of, “hey you look good, want to go out?” is just … sad. Sad untrusting society that’s spiraling.
Another woman gave her an easy out if she wanted to take it - that’s all. The woman didn’t accuse the man directly of anything and she apparently left them alone once the offer was refused.
It’s bad that it is so commonplace for this to happen that women feel the need to look out for one another in this way. I wish it wasn’t the way the world is, but it is and it’s not bad to try to protect each other.
You’re not smart. You’re not helping. You’re paranoid weirdos.
Do you often express this sentiment to women trying to avoid being sexually assaulted and raped?
If they were trying to avoid a situation going south, sure that’d be helping.
Jumping to conclusions is NOT helping anyone.
Nobody was harmed in the meme. The men are OK. You can rest your weary head and stop worrying about misandry in the case of women looking out for other women.
Is that really the best line? She has to leave to take advantage of it.
Maybe, “hey, how’d your husband’s parole hearing go?”?
How many times have you thought of the perfect response to someone hours after the fact?
It’s good that she stepped in to offer help at all.
I guess we should just applaud?
It’s good she said something, I agree. She could also have said something better, and mine came after about 7 seconds, not hours.
I guess you’re just much better at responses than this made up woman in this meme format. Congrats?
My wit is but a pale shadow of this made up woman’s courage.
You just had to make it known to us all how much better you are than her.
Applause all around.
I also salute your courage in defending her. Truely selfless act of sacrrfice. You are my personal hero.
Calling men out for their weird ego trips on imaginary women is just a fun little hobby of mine, what can I say?
That line is arguably worse.
It makes it clear what the random girl is trying to do, and allows the girlfriend to reply with anything from “not yet, let’s take a break over there” to “yeah I’m ready let’s go”.
That sounds much less organic and believable.
