Her article is rife with irrational assumptions, terrible confirmation bias and anecdotal evidence. The first half is literally he confirming her own suppositions based on a single experience with some random guy on the internet. Then it goes to the above--an "encounter" where she couldn't even hear the guy, but somehow knew he was out to harass her by theglint in his eye.western feminism_sl said:
That kind of "standard" for harassment weakens the broader definition of actual harassment because it lowers it from what a rational social expectation judged by a reasonable, average person--to a level that is driven by assumption and completely unreasonable in terms of interpretations of actions (That last line--wow. So a glint in a man's eye and a smile is "putting a bitch in her place"). Pretty standard M.O. for a social institution that's on it's last legs--change it's goals to be more nebulous and abstract, until defining them is no longer a rational process society at large can agree to for a reasonable standard, but must fall on the shoulders of the very people controlling the social institution.
That article is pretty insane though, talk about rambling vacuous angst.

This is why "racism" "sexism" ect can be dangerous tools for people who can't honestly think for themselves and have to rely on some kind of transmission and editorial to know how to feel. Which frankly is a lot of fucking people, almost none of the public school and most of the university degrees teach people how to think, they teach them to memorize "facts". The problem with that is if you politicize the "facts" you start creating friction in reality.

I feel like I need to make an apology.
I talk to myself. Out loud. All the time. Everywhere I go. I've talked to myself since I was able to talk. I don't actually give a flying fuck what the opinions of a random stranger are should they find themselves accidentally eavesdropping on a conversation between myself and myself but I do follow social norms to a degree so I'll laugh and smile or shrug my shoulders and apologize or whatever and then go about doing what I was doing. It's really more for the normies than it is for me.
I had absolutely no idea how my behaviors could be interpreted by the modern woman. How dare I act in such a manner that a perfectly rational individual would naturally infer to be predatory. My privilege really is out of control. So let me apologize on behalf of all men who talk to themselves. I am sorry.

There was no murder involved.
Only glorious glorious rape.
But you wouldn't pony up for the shipping fees on the 55 gallon drum of lube I'd need so the deal was canceled.

Does anyone else kind of wish Tony Danza would chime in on this? I feel like the dude would know what to say right now.

If a kid is skipping school to the point that it becomes a problem like that, what do you think the next step is? This whole "punish the parents" thing only goes so far. Some of the parents you want to target you won't be able to because they are absentee, and others it won't matter to the kid one way or another. I would argue go with what yields results, not what appeals to our emotional responses.
