| Society needs to change. Yes. Meanwhile, self-defense is all we have, and it might fend off a few attacks at least. Can we please please just stop talking about self defense. Regardless of the flaws or merits of self defense, it is not the topic here and it's derailing the actual topic of violence ... |

| Yeah he's trying to scam you sweetheart. You're well shot of him No he wasn’t. I knew him for years. I think you've said that you have never met him. Have you known him only online but for many years? That could still be a red flag that he is not trustworthy. Regardless, I am sorry and you must be ... |

| I don't get why "treat women better, and do something about those who don't" is such a difficult solution to see. It's not difficult at all, and it's a good wish. What's difficult is the "how to." But I say that at the risk of being wrongly thought a defeatist, or worse. The how... |

| And once again, talking about sexual violence against women has been derailed by turning it into a discussion about self defense. The bigger issue is a much more important issue, and it's the issue that the meme is about. This is another validation of the importance of the message of the meme and ho... |

| There is no correlation. Israel is an aggressive, heavily militarized state backed by the largest world superpower and it has been using that power since its inception to displace and kill many thousands of Palestinians. Israel is not the victim and it has not been subject to any pogroms. |

| Some of your points are very likely correct. I still don't see anything wrong with trying to make sure women know more about how to defend themselves. It doesn't fix the root cause of the problem, but for the individual potential victim I think it's more effective than a meme on social media. What ... |

| @bee33~ Are you implying that men do not ever need to be afraid of other men & that men do not ever need to be afraid of other women :?: I tend to think all hew-mons are potential threats. Sexual violence and sexual harassment against women is a specific societal problem that the man vs bear me... |

| Not all men are rapists, of course, but potentially any man could be a rapist. That is the point of the meme. That is why women have reason to be afraid of a random man just like everyone has reason to be afraid of a bear. (No one argues that hey, some bears won't attack you. In fact, most of the ti... |

| It's not stupid. The point of it is to demonstrate that women have reason to be afraid of men, because if you are woman, a man you don't know, and sometimes one that you do, can physically assault you. Everyone understands that there is reason to be afraid of a bear, but most men don't understand th... |

| Public transportation where I live is pretty good but it's not heavily used so it's never crowded, but you do have to be patient and have a lot of time on your hands because it's slow. There are no subways, only buses. I've had an occasion when a bus that runs every 30 minutes (which is bad, too inf... |

I hope you're able to enjoy some time with your cat. |
