Why do men get so upset when women point out they make us feel unsafe?
I have ended up on an algorithm that is heavily running based, and as a result I get many videos of how to keep yourself safe when running. Or women talking about how they feel paranoid looking over their shoulder constantly. And without fail, every time I open the comments, there are men and women talking about how ridiculous it is. That women shouldn't run alone if they feel unsafe. That they are stupid for feeling the way we do. That women don't need to carry pepper spray or a pew, and it's somehow offending them that we do. I don't understand. If women get assaulted, I see people running to say, well that's why you should have had/done XYZ to prevent this. But when we share tips, it's seen as an accusation? Like make it make sense. It's absolutely infuriating.
