Are we morally obligated?

[mslman71]

I just saw this yesterday. What do men think when they see this?

A setup?

[Karl_Hungus]

You and I have not seen eye to eye in the past but you have earned my respect. With that said, again this is where you and I see things differently, the gender makes a big difference for me, that is just how I am geared. I can't change that.

I understand -- and likewise, I respect the fact that you are always willing to examine yourself honestly. Yes, we are hardwired much differently I suspect -- I watch the stabbing video, and I immediately want to help the guy being stabbed. I actually want to take the knife away from the guy doing the stabbing, and use it on the dipsh!t filming the whole thing.

lol

it was a selfie

It's crazy, right? I don't know why they feel it's ok to get in my space, it's very uncomfortable.

Its because they're pathetic, low-life slimebags. It's totally not OK for dudes to get in your space or make inappropriate comments in an attempt to engage you in conversation.

If I had a daughter, I would encourage her to learn an effective form of martial arts so she could defend herself against douchebags. Unfortunately, they seem to be multiplying rapidly.

My thought is "its NYC" ... of course you are going to get harassed.

My experience walking alone in New York was only like five minutes 10AM. However, because it was such an unique and strange experience I wasn't bothered but more like amused.
When the guys standing outside the deli shop said "have a good day, baby" , I just responded back "have a good day, baby"

Yeah, I wouldn't survive there..

Those kind of guys are probably why women don't want to be approached at all...

I can't speak for all men, but I think those guys need a kick in the nads.

The dude recording was a f'cking idiot. I mean it is one thing to not do anything, but it is a whole other level when you are recording someone possibly losing their life.

[GoodMornings]

No ONE is allowed to touch another in such a manner, my wife knew Aikido and carried an asp with her at one time

I agree! Had a problem with a guy in college that couldn't keep his hands to himself, and would get really close, lay his head on my chest. What is it with me? I don't know what I'm doing that makes people think it's ok to do this?!

Seriously, get over yourself.

You really have to work on your permanent bitch face...seriously.

Haha! Yes I do, lol!

[Old-Time-Lifter]

I grew up around guns. I do not ccw but only because of my tremors, which would make cleanly drawing a weapon in a hurry difficult.

My older brother though lives in a rural area and he is always carrying. Not because he's afraid of being attacked but because in his world a gun is a tool and he always has one with him. He also has a rifle in all of his vehicles at all times, again not because he's afraid they are a tool and if you need one you need one.

ok

It's the agreeableness! Haha! Ok, so I messed up the last time I tried to do anything but a smiley.

She is agreeable because she knows she is talking out of her ass.

I have plenty of beautiful female friends and while they do get harassed by men, I have yet to hear one of hem ever tell me that men just grabbed them, touched them, put their head on their chest

I do however have a lot of slutty female friends who say they not only allow this, they welcome it.

I would never let anyone touch me.

I would start carrying pepper spray seriously if that would ever happen.

i need to get to the bx

You never have men touch you because men don't just go and do that.

And if men ever were to do that, then it was inviting.

I hang out with a lot of sick dudes, who harass women all the time in the clubs and sh!t. The most I ever saw them do, is maybe grab a girl/woman by the hand or touch their hair, but like I said it would be in a club, not randomly on the streets.

So you're implying that I'm slutty and welcome that kind of attention? Ok, no, couldn't be further off. You're kinda judgmental though.

No I am saying you are a liar that sh!t like that happens to you.


And lets just say I would entertain that this really happens to you, why don't you stop them?

[GoodMornings]

I'm not a liar, sorry to say. The guy in college I filed charges for "Offensive Touching" (It's a misdemeanor here) on bc no matter how many times I removed myself from the situation, he just kept on. He almost got kicked out of school bc I wasn't the only girl to complain.

How I usually handle it is remove myself from their proximity so that I'm not within arms reach and leave, etc. I don't know that I can stop a guy coming up and getting next to me and putting his arm around me, but I don't stand and let him continue, obviously.

Why are you attacking this person? Why are you making this personal?

Perhaps examine those questions before making your next post.

and yes, you started this by telling her to "get over herself".

[discdoggie]

I am so frickin hot I can't leave my house without being bombarded by men, women, children, feral cats (especially when I don't shower.)

When I am NOT harassed, it is simply because they are froZen in awe by my hotness.

OK so if you "defended" yourself as you say, then why didn't you say that in your first post? Why didn't you make it into a negative and not such a positive?

It seems more you were glorifying men touching you.

[Cass40]

In my previous job there were two guys that got fired for sexual harassment.

Both of them I talked to all the time but they never harassed me.I was so surprised when I heard all these women complaining about them.
I kinda was friends with both of them

I didn't intend that at all. And for the record, I don't consider myself to be anything special--my avi is the back of my head, lol! If it came off as positive, that was not intended in the least. Srs.

Are we friends now
