I'm sure we are all familiar with the Schrödinger approaching women meme. Where men both called creeps, predators, and potentially dangerous (I choose 🐻) when approaching women. But also men are considered paranoid, misogynistic, or too much red-pill/incel content brain rot viewers whenever they don't want to approach women.

Women usually say that men see millions of different women as a monolith or the same person. And how men can't tell the difference between hypocrisy and a generalization. Because after all it's just "two different women" guys. Right guys?

These are direct quotes from women.

"Absolutely not. The less approaching the better. As a woman please do not, regardless of how attractive a woman is, approach her randomly. Please and thank you."

"Men shouldn't approach women they don't know. That's creepy, and makes women feel uncomfortable"

"Men don't understand how uncomfortable their presence make women feel. Women are afraid to walk home alone at night".

"Men leave us alone. Don't try to have small talk with us. Women don't want to smile at you. Women don't exist to please you".

You know what all these quotes have in common. Every woman is acting like they speak for all women here. So now where is the "two different women" crowd telling these women that they are generalizing women and don't speak for all women?

How come the "two different women" crowd only ever bring up this argument whenever men are talking about not wanting to approach woman due to not wanting to come off as creepy. That's very convenient.

Some women do generalize about men, and those generalizations are often stated as if they speak for all women. Like the quotes I shared. Yet when men generalize women based on personal experience or online discourse, they often get hit with the “it’s not all women” or “you’re just consuming incel content” response.

Back to the famous "Schrödinger’s rapist" meme, the idea that a man approaching a woman is both harmless and dangerous until proven otherwise. That very idea has made many men second-guess even innocent approaches. So when women say “leave us alone” broadly, they’re participating in the exact kind of sweeping generalization they say men shouldn’t make.

Society often gives more space to women to speak as a collective, especially on safety issues. Men doing the same are sometimes viewed as overreacting or fragile. So it’s fair to expect women who want to be seen as individuals to also avoid speaking like a monolith themselves.
