    I’d say this Anon is partly correct. Men do feel emotions. And women definitely have very high levels of consumption of the romantic genre of recreational media. Maybe the only thing Anon got wrong is “men created/invented love,” which is obviously not true.

    I think Anon might mean that men create a lot of romantic media, which is true. I don’t know if it is more than the amount of romatic media created by women. Probably about equal, I would imagine. But I suppose it could be imbalances, I am not an expert on romance media, after all.

    Also, given how people act these days, I honestly don’t blame Anon for actually believing women would rather try to talk to a bear than the average man. Not that that is right, or even real. But I get why someone would feel that way.

      Okay, okay, I see your point.

      Part of me feels like I am seen as a dangerous person in public (Being 6’3 and Autistic and all that), despite the fact there is evidence against that, so I do understand Anon to that extent.

      Although I do see (at least parts of) feminism as having solutions to this dilemma, not the problem like Anon thinks.

        The impression someone gives in public is based on a lot more than height, and although autism does factor in its not usually a physical danger. Body language and facial expressions are more important, you can tell if someone’s stressed, or in a rush, or calm. There was a guy who was crazy tall at my last job, like nearly 7 feet tall, but he was always very polite and made funny jokes, and not once did I feel afraid of him.
