After all, the woman has no recourse to escape. He obviously felt strongly enough to recall or otherwise look up her address again which means he also knows her name. Then he shows up to shoot his shot in a place where she can't actually leave, a place where she should feel safe. It is such a violation of trust and would make one concerned about what will the idiot do next when you refuse him.
Ok yeah that is the activity one should want to participate in. One where you have to consider if the other person has recourse to escape you. Yeah you should approach her at work where at least she can quit her job and become unemployed rather than live in fear you might show up again.
Or approach her in the park, there are other parks in the city if you horrify her so much she never wants to go to that park again. That is the impact you want to have on women as a man.
But the propaganda I was fed before I got on in the internet and saw what women actually thought about men approaching them was: She will be so flattered! What have you got to lose? Go up there and chat with her, she might reject you but at least you will make her day!
You will go up there and say "Hi, I'm George Costanza. I am unemployed and live with my parents" and the she will turn around and say "I'm Victoria, Hi!"
But this was a fucking lie society told me. They hate it and it ruins their day. Women go to gay bars to get away from men approaching them. Like holy shit. My woman friends were encouraging me to engage in this behavior.
Why I had to go to the internet and find the woman only whisper network to get this information is amazing. Thank God for the Internet...I don't say that very often.
Quote from: Jacob on May 06, 2024, 11:17:16 AMEven if we only count women killed by men they don't know, I'm pretty sure the number is greater than 40.
Though, of course, the relevant statistic for the answer to the question is probably the number of women who've felt endangered by men they don't know. And that is a pretty high number it seems.
Quote from: Josquius on May 06, 2024, 02:03:16 AMI've read a few pieces lately saying gaming as I know it altogether is dying. That traditional games are just for old people with kids these days preferring their looped multiplayer free to play battleground sandboxes.
Quote from: Jacob on May 05, 2024, 01:49:17 AMHmmm... well... I live in a place where bears are fairly frequent. I can tell you that more women are killed by men every year than are killed by bears. I'd wager that the number of incidents of women having had encounters where they felt threatened or scared by a man's behaviour is orders of magnitude greater than those who've had scary encounters with bears. I think most women have felt endangered by a man at some point in there lives; and if they haven't, they know a women who has. I doubt the same is true when it comes to bears.
Perhaps if you calculated the rate of scary encounters and the rate of murders per encounter, men would be statistically safer than bears due to the large number of encounters. But in terms of absolute numbers men have a much higher impact on women's safety than bears.
It seems only natural that this would impact women's threat perception. And it seems pretty silly to be offended by that, IMO.
