So… I posted the following
“I don’t know if this is staged; but yeah. This is experience I’ve seen. I get it… women are much more worried about Predators and the like but… this is something that is real”

Of course… it caused a fight with a very pro-Feminist friend of mine saying “Women don’t owe anyone their politeness. Really, no one owes anyone politeness. And the fact that women have to have their guard up isn’t something that should be glosses over. I guess what I am saying is that one day, one mythical day, the world can nitpick whether someone is polite in their rejection. Today is not that day.”
I’m not going to openly fight anyone on Facebook because… that isn’t the proper forum. That isn’t a cool thing to do.
But something that completely flies in the face of everything I was raised to believe? “Really, no one owes anyone politeness.” Because that right there is what is wrong in this world. Everyone owes everyone else courtesy, respect, and dignity. Point Blank: You don’t treat someone shitily without reason. If we all treated each other with politeness and respect… we’d see some significant changes in this world.
Maybe that is me being too old school. Maybe it is a “White Privilege” or “Male Privilege” thing. But… do unto others as you would have them do unto you still makes a lot of damned sense to me!
