Scenario: It’s night, and a man is walking home. He sees ahead there is a woman going in the opposite direction as him. Knowing not to stop or approach her, but his presence makes her nervous. What would help further in this scenario if anything?

    Anyone else feel really allienated when people act like it’s normal for women to have an anxious breakdown in the presence of, or interacting with a dude?

    I don’t want to downplay what some go through, or the trauma that people relive, but it’s not normal or healthy to be living in constant fear of the opposite sex.

    For all the guys who feel like their presence is an active threat to the women around them: just be normal. Be courteous, but don’t treat them higher, or lower, than anyone else you meet. Feels weird I have to say that
