    Enough. Women are supposed to have a man they trust on hand at all times to check if each man they encounter is safe to respond to freely? A chaperone who knows all these random men on the street who harass? Like it’s all fine because men can recommend a friend.

    You don’t comprehend my original point and subsequently you’re not really responding to it. That’s fine, you carry on but I realise you’re either a troll or completely naive or just being obtuse. cba anymore. Have a good day.

      That’s a completely new sentence.

      You’re perfectly free to, I in fact encouraged it a million times in this thread, to unfuck your own threat radar. You can do that on your own, you can do it with help from others, either sex, only people I’d advise to stay away from are a) women who have a history of getting into abusive relationships or are abusers themselves and b) men you don’t trust, and, generally, c) neurotic people. Take the judgements of people other than those, compare and contrast them with your and other people’s judgements, compare reasoning and what specifically people are pointing out about the person in question, collect data. Given enough of that your own capacities will unlock.

      I said “if in doubt”. That is, if you are not sure of your own capacity to judge, a trusted man is going to be a way out of that situation because have you ever looked at violent crime statistics? How the vast majority of victims are men? We have plenty of reason to develop good threat radars. Don’t think for a second my neck hairs don’t stand on end when meeting a character like Andrew Tate in the street: Insecure, irritable, full of himself yet constantly seeking approval, a ticking time bomb on first sight. These two guys? Complete opposite. Sure you don’t want to fuck with them but I don’t want to, anyway, so that’s a nothingburger.
