I read that 3/4 of all females say they have been sexually harassed in the st. I want to know what the other 1/3 are doing right and why they are not teaching this course?

Your math is bad.

The other 1/4, you mean?

In a related study, 1/4 of all females enjoy attention from male strangers.

The actions of the male are irrelevant. The difference between flirting and sexual harassment is whether or not it is unwanted by the female.

The ones not getting "harassed" are FAT AND UGLY?? No, it's always a power thing. I forgot, it's a power thing. Why do I always forget that?!?!?!?!

We need to change the culture such that women are expected to make the first move. Men do not understand subtle ques.

I have a personal policy when someone makes a claim like this.

"Trust, but verify first."

Don't believe everything you read/hear.

I have never been sexually harassed on the street and I’m not fat or ugly. I believe a lot of it comes down to confidence. I have a great dad who taught me about MRA since I was little. I grew up with a twin brother I am very close to. I feel I understand men more than I understand women. In fact there is some research showing that prenatal testosterone on a female brain from the male twin alters their brain to be permanently more masculine.

I trust all men by default; they are not scary to me. I like to joke around with men, most men are really funny. If someone were to catcall me on the street I have jokes ready to fire. It’s very hard to offend or scare me. I have deep belief in myself that I could beat any man up, even though I can’t, the delusion is still there and I walk like I can. I don’t cross to the other side of the street, I take up the sidewalk or step to the side depending on if I decide I like the guy.

Many women I know say they are afraid of men or don’t trust them, which may make a big difference in both their perception of men and some men’s reactions to them. The other day I was in line for coffee and a very small plain woman was ordering in front of me. The male cashier didn’t understand or hear her and he said so. You could just see this woman square up and her voice go shrill when she repeated herself. I thought to myself, this is the kind of woman who gets catcalled; you can so easily make her visibly uncomfortable. She lacks ease and confidence.

For a long time I thought growing up with good male role models made women more trusting of men, but a recent Facebook thread tore that idea apart. Several women I know with good dads still don’t seem to trust men. So it’s something else, but I still believe confidence. I train GSDs and Malinois in bite sports and the women in those clubs are like me too: we all actually like men and never have a problem with them.

Nowadays, sexual harassment includes a “hello” from an ugly man.

I’m sexually harassed on the street on a weekly basis. Please do tell everyone what you believe I’m doing wrong.
