Comment on what's the best way to react if a guy stares at you like he wants to have sex with you when you're doing yoga?

  Pulling out your gun and shooting the brown skinned dude going for a jog is a little bit different than packing it in and resolving to do yoga another day

  I don’t know what gender you are, but you’ve just triggered my spidey-gut.

    I don’t disagree with the advice to trust your gut, so I can’t blame you for doing the same thing.

      I’m getting sexist racist homophobic anti trans vibes here. Should I trust my gut?

        If what I’m saying even remotely resembles something your caricature of the “other” might say, then the only logical conclusion, of course, is that I must be exactly like them.

  Yes that moral imbalance also striked me when reading this. When grandma has a gut feeling towards brown people and talks about that, she’d be called a bigot here. But when it’s about men, the highest upvoted advice is to listen to the feeling of fear in your gut…

    If people only listened to their gut all people from a different culture which similar but not same body language as well as people with a disability would be even more estranged than today.

    What does your gut tell you about the guy in line at the tell who keeps his hand in his pockets and fiddling with something who then seem to panic a bit when someone tries to look him in the eyes? Is it a robber or an autistic person who don’t want to show his hand due to having a stim toy and have learned to not stim in public view?
