Internalised Misandry: Men Feeling Bad Just For Existing…

Now if men take this mindset too seriously. Then women start complaining about men not interacting with them. Funny how that works.

At this point it's "Sorry for being born, I guess."

Men's mental health is overall bad enough to not start hating ourselves simply for being born male.

Also - if scaring someone is a concern, why only women? Like, only women can be a potential target of a crime, right?

We are only responsible for what we can control. The feelings of others, including fear, are not something we can control. Thus we are not responsible for their feelings or fear. Their feelings are their own problem, and we need to get society, especially legally, to recognize that.

Just wear hi-vis and a hard hat. Carry a ladder for loaded work.

Our Deepest Fear

By Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness

That most frightens us.

We ask ourselves

Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small

Does not serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking

So that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine,

As children do.

We were born to make manifest

The glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us;

It's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,

We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we're liberated from our own fear,

Our presence automatically liberates others.

Yup. Nailed it. Internalized misandry.

So wild that so many men have been trained to be ok with being seen as default monsters just to make women they jog past on the street "feel" more safe.

God fucking damn.

Lolololol

Slowdown there.

I think its more than just that.

Given his situation of literal screams coming from women, he's in a potential mine field.

Say one of these women calls the cops about a guy who "frequents her jogging routes at night stalking women", how is he supposed to prove that he isn't a predator stalking these women or looking for victims?

That is a legit reason to want to know how not to scare female strangers while jogging because it could land him in trouble (since he used the word bloke, I'm assuming that he might be in the UK or Australia, countries that would probably take distress call like that seriously).

This is actually not a bad thing to think about. Women do have genuine and reasonable fears about coming across random men on isolated areas, and we should do what we can within reason to put them at ease
