This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
As a tall man who likes to walk at night, I have long understood that women alone at night do not wish to encounter me. So when I happen to find myself following a woman down the street, I will either slow down, cross the street, or stop and look at a sign or something for a minute to give her some space.
In a dangerous and shitty world, a person has to find subtle and quiet ways to express care, compassion, and solidarity. It costs me nothing to make a woman feel safer.
I have similar experiences. I am 6'9" and weight 290lbs. I also have daughters, so I try my best to not be intimidating. Doesn't always work, but at least I can say I try.
This is the way, and good for you.
Purposefully making women afraid they're about to get assaulted is abhorrent.
on the one hand, you're right and I agree with you.
on the other hand, I've got places to be and other people walk so fucking slow.
You da man brother!
He's not a "Sucker Idolizing Mediocre Pussy"
He's a man making sure women feel a little safer.
Using the word "SIMP" in this context runs counter to every example of protective familymen I've ever seen. Derision against his behavior is as good as calling yourself a creep, a predator, an enemy of all that is good and right.
You have the morals of an opportunistic thug ... yet I have no doubt you think yourself some kind of faithful man
Simp is also just short for "simpleton"
That's not how simp is used in this context, you intentionally obtuse pedanic British cigarette.
While working i am occasionally in parking garages which can be dark and creepy. If i see a woman walking alone I'll try to make some noise like pulling out my keys. People with bad intentions will be stealthy, hopefully they get that I'm not a threat
When in an elevator, I like to put people at ease by letting out a long reassuring fart to prove that I'm not hiding anything up my ass
So everyone here is saying fuck anon and I agree, but I agree because they are aware of it and intentionally doing things on purpose to exacerbate the situation.
But like, if you're a physically larger dude (maybe even cursed with a hint of melanin), and you've got to walk behind a woman at 2am.. it's just a shitty situation for both people, where both of you feel like you have to do something you shouldn't have to do (women feeling the need to run, defend themselves, or cry for help, and men feeling the need to change their route, stand around and wait until she leaves, or do something awkward and potentially more scary like announce their presence).
I'm definitely not advocating for women to be less cautious on the streets at night or anything like that at all, it's an unfortunate reality that they need to stay vigilant and aware to remain safe. It just really sucks that the way it comes across a lot of the time does little to protect anyone from any actual harm, and just makes normal people feel like shit for making someone feel like they're about to get raped.
Just yell to her you're not going to rape her. Problem solved.
