how does expecting a guy to buy you a $200 dinner prevent him from assaulting you?

zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 2 months agoDo you think it’s purely just sexism, or do you think it maybe has something to do with the strategy women must employ to protect themselves from being assaulted by strangers?

It really does ring faintly of a “poor people are dangerous” kind of note.

Yeah, if anything, I feel like a guy paying $200 for a meal would expect something in return and might get aggressive.

Nah you’re missing the point. The problem is that men assault women disproportionately. That’s what needs to be called out as sexism, that’s what needs addressed, that’s what needs to change.

What about women who assault men, are they cool and we don’t need to call them out?
I’ve been raped, groped, and physically assaulted by women a lot more than I have ever been by men.

What does buying their dinner have to do with protecting them from being assaulted? If anything the guy paying for everything is going to be more likely to expect something in return.

Is the implication, then, that people with money are never dangerous individuals?
zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
No, not never, but a monetary barrier probably does filter out some bad actors. Not all of course, and it probably filters out some good actors too unfortunately. But with the amount of assaults women are faced with, I understand why they feel the need to be somewhat choosy.

Where do you people find these “happy in rape” women?
