How would you feel being followed by a 7' 7" gorilla late at night in a dark street ?
Ideas on how people of good will could protect people from "tossers" of all sorts
After Eurydice, what should men do?

I get off the train in the darkness, and see a woman. She is smaller than me. Most are. She strides with purpose – upright, head on a swivel – seemingly alone, with only her “situational awareness” for company.
She would have seen me, too. I’m the big stranger behind her, leaning into the wind, dressed all in black – boots, hat, coat, with a beard.

I'm no gorilla, but I think that if a woman seemed worried about me walking behind her, I'd simply overtake her and walk on.
What would you do bas ?
Did you read the story Rumpy ? It discussed the question and came up with a few useful ideas. It also included other ways of supporting people (without getting killed yourself) who are being harassed in public.

Tonight I use another trick, crossing the street then walking in parallel until I’m well in front, but clearly in sight, where this girl can assess the threat from afar - regarding me like one might regard an animal through a long lens scope.
How did I get a mention ? I have been away for months and haven't posted in that time.
For what it is worth, there are plenty of places that neither male or female should be walking around alone at midnight if they are prudent.
I know of many places that I wouldn't walk alone that late at night.
The Gospel of Women according to Tisme.
I think it's a bit rich. Tisme offers some of the most offensive observations about women as per one of his gospel pieces above. They are posted as part of his "Chief tosser" role on ASF.
And then.. he is concerned about me trawling through his nasty little comments and reminding us what he says.
Hang on, I just have to grab another tissue .... my eyes are a torrent from the laughter.
For an educator I suspect someone's lack of comprehension was a major cause for concern amongst someone's peers? Of course the longer you associate with a group the more you take on their personality and maturity ....just saying.
..............described the proposal as part of a "feminist agenda" that "is not about equal rights for women." Claims of 'Anti-Family'
Instead, the letter said, "it is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."...........
Your right Tisme. It is a joke. You are a joke. There is nothing to misunderstand about you Tizzie. Your nasty drivel spells it out in spades.
And in the end too much of a tosser to work out when to shut up.
From long experience on other forums I know that Tisme is no misogynist.
Thanx for that. You also know I'm not one to resort to the kind of invective thrown at me by posters who refuse to accept they themselves display a paternal misogyny by playing unsolicited protector of the "weaker" sex. Their words actually ingrain the notion of second tier status based on pinky bits.
Who was the first in Oz to employ an all female team in a male dominated industry.....me. Who is it who sheltered, fed and watered children whose parents were too busy failing in their jobs, me. Who was it who opened his house up to asians, muslims, blacks, et al as a safe haven, me. Who paid the mortgage payments of struggling families to keep a roof over their head, me. Who put otherwise forgotten young adults through uni, me. Who never asked for anything in return, me.
My conscience is clear. What can those who want a piece of me bring to the table, except abuse and personal insults. Deeds not words make the man.
I just think that both he and I don't like the distrust engendered between men and women by the radical feminists who want to turn nasty incidents like sexual harassment , rape and murder into gender wars where all men are evil and must be avoided or suspected instead of being turned to for help and support.
While you talk the talk basilio, others walk the walk.
Oh my.Wayne, Tisme whatever you've have done for the greater good.... fantastic. I'm not going to join the circle of good works club because in this universe it would invoke the mandatory "virtue signalling" howl.
In that context I redouble my comments about the apparent difference between your private behaviours and the vitriol you heap on Muslims, women who stand up for themselves, men who support them, and people who believe that the current range of extreme nationalist movements are somehow a good thing. It just doesn't jell.
On a level of logic and evidence I'm still bemused at how Wayne steadfastly refuses to acknowledge the reality of CC and therefore the impact it will have on everyone - left, right, Muslim, Atheist, Christian LGBTI. I bring this issue up here because, in my view, it demonstrates the most specious use of evidence for a view and willlingness to repeatedly double down on a clearly wrong belief - for whatever inconcievable reason you have.
