on a popular women's subreddit, I save new posts to revisit and review comments on them later in the day. One was about a woman asking if men don't stop other men from harassing women in public because they may be afraid of confrontation or a fight. She explained that in a discussion she had with a male friend who stated that women being creeped on or harassed by men in public, should be loud and shame them and even get physical. The OP lead him to admit that *he personally* would not assist a woman in public being harassed because *he was afraid of confrontation or escalation into a physical fight*. She asked him why he would advise *her* to risk escalating instead of her subtle methods of placate and GTFO

I'm just shaking my head over here. A perfectly appropriate post for a WOMEN'S SUB that gets removed by mods because NAMALT.

FDS, thank you for providing a space that I've never had in my life until now. Thank you for making me realize that all of this shitty stuff I've put up with is really not normal and I'm not wrong to feel disgusted by the men who made me feel that way. Thank you for giving me words to articulate these feelings which I've never been able to find the language for. Thank you for doing this for me, and for all of the women who visit FDS and discover the same.

Thank you from the bottom of my fucking soul. I donate to your patreon, subscribe to the spotify podcast, and live my life aligned with FDS principals. My heart is lighter than it ever has been, because of FemaleDatingStrategy.
