transcription: why are men so afraid of being falsely accused? just stay inside, dont put yourself in situations like this, dont go out alone especially at night, dont drink, dress modestly so women dont mistake you for predators, always be polite so you dont “provoke” women

    Had to check the sub to make sure this was posted as the satire it is. That logic is too sneaky, and I have way too easy of a time imagining people accepting it at face value. Probably most fitting post for the sub tbh

      It’s just a reverse of what socially conservative people tell to women victims.

        not just social conservatives, this is just the default way most people think about women and femininity - we assume women are inherently sexual and “have” the sex that men want to “take” from them. Even a liberal woman might feel ashamed for having large breasts, for example. When you have large breasts you can be perceived by others as being slutty just for wearing normal clothes.

    2 years into therapy and I’m realizing most of my social anxiety stems from the fact that I was literally living like this.

    …because it’s happened to me before?

    Had an ex in junior high tell friends and others that I tried forcing myself onto her after I didn’t feel comfortable getting intimate with her like that when visiting her place for Christmas, which was her cheap excuse to justify to them why she cheated on me.

    The exact opposite was the case where she threatened to blackmail me if I didn’t do something, which she then did anyway. Didn’t realise I was on the ace spectrum until years later.

    You don’t solve the issues you face by diminishing those of others.
