modestobulldog Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 What's the big deal? What's so controversial? The majority of men have women they love romantically, sisters, mothers, aunts, grandmother's, friends, coworkers. The vast majority of men appreciate and respect women. I'm not sure what to do about the Neanderthals that don't, I think everything that should be illegal is illegal. Crimes should be prosecuted. The reference to the Kavanaugh, everyone listened, but her lack of honesty and so many areas plus her inability to name location, time how she got there, undermined her credibility. even the second front door was a fraud, she wanted it so she could meet with clients and they wouldn't have to come into her personal residence. It had nothing to do with being traumatized. But as to the video, I actually liked it, in that it has a catchy jingle, and a reminder of how many ways a woman's life is different than my own.

nomascows Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I get what she is saying but I have heard more than one woman lament not being able to go jogging with earphones in. That is stupid behavior no matter who you are, man, woman or child. Situational awareness people, situational awareness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for women it’s stupid for additional reasons. 2 Quote Thay Haif Said: Quhat Say Thay? Lat Thame Say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The agents of planning are usually boring; the planning process is boring; the implementation of plans is always boring. In a democracy boredom works for bureaucracies and corporations as smell works for skunk. It keeps danger away. Power does not have to be exercised behind the scenes. It can be open. The audience is asleep. The modern world is forged amidst our inattention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonkee Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I had it explained to me like this once on what it's like to be female walking around. Not that you are unsafe in most cases, but you are almost always at least vulnerable. Half the population is bigger and stronger right off the bat. Being in a one on one situation is almost always a losing proposition. As a dude, I can cancel out pretty much all women as being a threat and, even though I'm not a tough guy by any stretch, most individual men really don't pose a threat, even with their intentions are bad. I just don't feel vulnerable in 98% of situations. But women feel vulnerable almost all the time so cut them some slack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All folks should be more aware of their surroundings and when you're wearing ear buds, you've pretty much shut off your ability to hear the outside world.
