If it's not for sale, don't advertise it.

As a man, I find this insulting. I would not assault a woman no matter how she is dressed and I resent the implication that I cannot control myself.

This woman comes across as not especially well adjusted. For example, when she gets in her car she checks the back seat for hidden men first, then once she gets in she immediately locks her doors and then zooms off, no delays. Apparantly in all situations. Maybe it’s a case of me not getting it, which is her premise, but I see plenty of women in the real world that don’t act so scared at all times. Perhaps, just maybe, some of the issue is with her.

Joking with a friend, I said, Im often so angry, these days, that Im a little surprised I havent turned physically incandescent. Why havent I started glowing in the dark?
And there you have it. She has worked herself up into such a frenzy of irrational fear, anger, and hatred that not rational thought can survive a millisecond in her brain.

Perhaps if she didn’t live in liberal city cesspools, she would fear so much...

On the day Brett Kavanaugh was voted into the Supreme Court despite multiple, very credible accusations of sexual misconduct, I left my apartment. I went around town, running errands while trying not to cry. She is attempting to advertise something, exactly what it might be, I'm unsure.

For example, when she gets in her car she checks the back seat for hidden men first, then once she gets in she immediately locks her doors and then zooms off, no delays.I do the same, and I am a 64yo man. It has nothing to do with fearing sexual assault, and everything to do with good sense.

She should go back to France where the migrants there will protect her from the nasty Americans.

I knew a 65 yo. Woman who was raped in the middle of the night. Someone broke into her house via the doggie door which was shut, but not locked.
Outward appearance has nothing to do with with the sick mind some people have. A Normal healthy man would ask her out, and be respectful of her wishes.
A man who forces himself on a woman gets his jollies from the power of intimidation. He is lusted by her fear, not her looks.

Situational awareness involves being aware of your immediate surroundings and the impact of your or other’s actions as it relates to the well-being of yourself and those around you. It requires the use of knowledge from experience and education in order to accurately assess and determine your level of safety.

She says she writes novels and she's frequently asked why they have so many women getting sexually assaulted in them and she dismisses that as just questions coming from men.
Let's face it, this woman has issues.

Liberals are oftentimes jerks, she projects their failings on to normal men, who are generally at least nominally conservative compared to the moonbats.
They live in a bubble, inhabited almist exclusively by psychos, and conclude that Every Man is the same.
