EVERY woman has flinched when strange men get too close, stare, or in some way make them uncomfortable.

Isn’t that the truth??? As one who moved to the South less than 10 years ago, I still deal with this nutty phenomenon - for some reason, redneck guys just can’t stop themselves from stopping and offering a ride to any woman they see walking down the street. (As if it’s somehow not acceptable to walk down the street!) In their world, they think they are being nice, caring Southern men. But, good grief, DO THEY NOT KNOW THAT WOMEN ARE CONSTANTLY INSTRUCTED NEVER to accept a ride or get involved with a total stranger?? It’s a cultural divide, but you would think by now they would have figured it out. It’s a line not to be crossed. We are strangers - don’t offer me a ride. Ande leave me alone, cause I am about to get nasty with you for violating my space.
Exactly!
That’s right. It’s actually called Being Aware of Your Surroundings. Using common sense to keep yourself safe — now that is suspect too? And it shows that you are a racist?
Well, I grew up in Los Angeles and it is STUPID not to be aware of — panhandlers, traffic, men of any race who swagger and look like they are up to no good, etc. and etc.
What’s moral about Code White? About assuming that everyone is of good moral character? That is just denial and naivete. No thank you.
