Walking Behind Women

is it to be funny?Toxic shame is killing boys, men.

Yeah not really funny. Its more like, social commentary funny.

But its not on the guy to adapt, why should it, he's just walking. If women are scared, they should probably deal with that, as paranoia is more stress and stress is bad for you.

My take on this:

Feminists: Feminists feel that men should not walk directly behind women, because it makes women uncomfortable that the man might attack her.

Me: No, women are not entitled to be prejudiced against men. In fact, feminists feel so entitled to be prejudiced against men that feminists feel that this first entitlement makes women entitled to control men's behaviour.

Men do not owe women anything. Stop trying to control men in public.

I demand exclusive pathways for men to walk.

Wasn't there a post recently about someone being a 'real man' on r/TwoXChromosomes because he ran to the other side of the road and called out 'sorry if I made you nervous' or some BS like that?

Why can’t we just walk to points A and B without the commentary?

The proper action in this scenario is to slow down and stare at her butt. She won't know what you're doing, so it's technically fine!

"This is how men should treat women"

-That woman in 2XC

The person characterized is displaying his insecurity on being unable to address the inherent awkwardness of following a woman who might perceive them as a threat.

We are aware of that many women are suspicious of men following them. Many woman have been assaulted and whether or not they are in actual danger, this is a defense mechanism to a potential threat. Better to be suspicious than assaulted.

This is the equivalent of balling your fist when a drunk person aimlessly shouts at your direction while walking down the street. Is the drunk a likely threat? No. But you still unconsciously expect it.

This is a natural response. Sometimes i even feel awkward when I follow the car in front of me all the way home. I don't know if that's a woman and it's not related to gender at all, but I still think in my mind "I'm not a killer, I'm just your neighbor."

In this example, the women does not address the man in any way, nor does she shame him. But still that insecurity remains of appearing as a threat to others.

The reasonable thing to do is to address the insecurity of appearing as a threat, not shaming people for being defensive.

Why is this on r/funny I dont know

BlueBlood75 · 2019-06-26T17:25:17+00:00

I get that feeling too. It’s got to the point where I get a little pissed if a woman walks out in front of me bc of how self conscious it makes me. I over examine everything I do in order to not appear malicious or creepy in any way. Never knew it was something other dudes felt too

FaustoLG · 2019-06-26T17:46:25+00:00

Even then that simp will be charged with Rape just because "believe all wahman"

RealSteveIrwin · 2019-06-26T18:14:27+00:00

God I feel this a lot it’s a horrible feeling and I’ve been called a creep by girls for following them when I’m just trying to get to work or somewhere else.

The horrible feeling when walking behind a woman is scary especially when nobody is around. In today's world men can easily without evidence get accused of rape or Pedophilia.

I can't help myself, but when I walk behind a female I try at least pretend to be on the phone or slower my walk.

MightyThicc · 2019-06-26T21:59:16+00:00

That's a game I like to play, whenever I'm close to someone, I put on my hood, lower my head and be as creepy as possible. It worked once and the person in front of me ran away the moment I turned my head. Fun time

redmaster_28273 · 2019-06-26T22:06:07+00:00

This person is really overthinking walking behind someone

ConnorGracie · 2019-06-27T02:41:13+00:00

Feminist literally complain about men walking behind them all the time.

ConnorGracie · 2019-06-27T02:45:12+00:00

Everyone in that thread basically agrees with having that experience something I got chewed out for mentioning when I was telling people what I do to avoid being creepy. Most of the thread was filled with unhelpful shit such as don't assault women or son't be a creep. It's like that feminist straw man about don't get raped except real.
