    What do you think a man is going to do to you in a public place that makes you so afraid you can’t face him by yourself?

    You can’t seriouy say “men are unpredictable and dangerous so I need to vet them before we can interact normally” and pretend that isn’t prejudice.

    Replace “men” with “black people” if that helps you self reflect.

      I am a man and I’ve been roofied in public. It happens far more frequently than you would like to believe.

      I cannot blame any woman who doesn’t want to take that risk with a stranger.

      You seem to think I’m targeting men here, but that’s foolish. People are unpredictable, and anyone has the capacity to be dangerous. The only reason to respond to mild caution with such excessive hostility is your own insecurity. Nobody is calling you a rapist here man, it’s not about you, it’s just a precaution.
