SJW says men shouldn't initiate conversation with women on the street

[Clemmo]

It's really scary to see how tolatarian SJW's are in their views. The fact that a lot of righties call them "Liberals" is a disgrace to real liberalism.

Men have been cold approaching women since time immemorial. Even beyond that, people have exchanged pleasantries with strangers in public since time immemorial. "Hi." "Looks like rain." "

It's only the present day that woman are too fragile to hear this. They're too damaged and neurotic. They need trigger warnings, they talk about the urge to throw up when they hear things they disagree with, now they don't want strangers saying hello to them ( this articles author refers to it as "torture").

 

[DarkTriad]

I've been saying it for a while.

There is a campaign afoot to criminalize cold approaches. They are testing the waters with articles such as these, to see when the time is right to step up the intensity.

The sad thing is, there are already (very old) laws on the books (at least in my state) for unwanted, overly aggressive cold approaching. The only problem is that these laws actually follow...you know, the Constitution, and strike a healthy balance between free speech and privacy. You actually have to be DOING real harassment for them to apply. This doesn't satisfy them.

 

[Impulse]

It's frustrating when I have dialogues with my school peers on this subject. Whenever this topic is brought up, at least four people feel compelled to declare how 'creepy' this 'street harassment' is. It's sickening seeing how brainwashed these kids are; the expressions off pure disdian they glare at me with after speaking the truth tells me that much.


Unsurprisingly, majority of these SIMPs resemble the author. In regards to outlandish physical alterations, feminine mannerisms and (likely) soft, womanly tones when orating. Those who buy into this flexibilized definition of harassment, which is more akin to 'unwanted attention' never realize how revolutionary these instances are.

Do these white knights truly believe that men should act as chaste as possible around women on streets?

Regarding "Plus, as it is now, women live longer than men. That means over their lifetime, women will pay more in taxes to maintain those streets. Financially speaking, the streets belong more to women than men."

That has to be one of the most idiotic statements I've ever heard, I think a new logical fallacy may have to be invented for it.

Not just a logical fallacy but factually incorrect. UK MRA's have been citing numbers showing men pay 2/3rds or more of all taxes. (Stands to reason, not only do men make more on average while working, but we take fewer years off to for child-rearing.)

Also, what is he saying? He believes women pay more for the streets and therefore have a right to get what they want on the streets. If I proved men pay more for the streets than women do, would that mean I have the right to get what I want from women on the streets? If the streets belong more to men than to women, are women obliged to give me head and/or a phone number?

Or maybe the streets are public spaces where everyone regardless of how much they pay is treated equally, including speaking to strangers if s/he so chooses.

Yeah, not just that. Just because women might live 5 or 10 years longer than men, those aren't "working years." For all practical purposes ages 70-85 don't amount to much in the way of taxable income, and to the extent that it exists, the woman is likely a widow paying taxes on inherited retirement income earned by her dead husband.

Today I read a column written by a white knight that I felt compelled to share on here. I would normally just disregard it as typical SJW nonsense, but it actually has this as one of its main points for men: Don’t initiate conversations with women on the street.

Seriously. I thought at first it might be some sort of tongue-in-cheek article or a parody piece, but it's not. It's chock-full of generalities and bad advice, including this gem at the end:

Plus, as it is now, women live longer than men. That means over their lifetime, women will pay more in taxes to maintain those streets. Financially speaking, the streets belong more to women than men.

Is he trying to imply that women and men pay the same in taxes? It sure seems like it.

Add in there the use of make-believe phrases like toxic masculinity and you have something that is the antithesis of a column on RoK.

As an aside, many of the pieces on Medium are good; this is certainly not one of them.

White Americans live longer and make more money than black Americans. Do white Americans own more of the street? What a fucking retarded argument.

Classism is pushed like a drug by SJWs.

"Granddad, what were the 1960s like?"

"Well, Junior it was a time when a man could walk up to a woman and say..."

"You mean that was legal??"

"Yes, child. Not only was it legal, but they wrote songs about it!"

"But granddad -- weren't those songs considered hate speech? Weren't they banned from the radio?"

"No child -- they went to the top of the charts. Number one!"

"Can you play me some of those tunes granddad?"

"Yes, my child -- but don't let your mother know. Now that Queen Hillary and Princess Chelsea have banned all male singers and feminists control the Internet, this music can get us both in a lot of trouble. What you are about to hear here are two of the most risque, daring songs ever written because in them a man sees a woman and actually speaks to her."

"Grandpa!! OMG!!!!!!"

 

[Praetor Lupus]

So they live longer but retire earlier. They have more non - working years than men.

Of course the streets belong to them financially.

"Oh, Pretty Woman"

Pretty woman, walking down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman
I don't believe you, you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you
Mercy

Pretty woman, won't you pardon me
Pretty woman, I couldn't help see
Pretty woman
That you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me
Wow

Pretty woman, stop a while
Pretty woman, talk a while
Pretty woman, give your smile to me
Pretty woman, yeah yeah yeah
Pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me
'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right
Come with me baby, be mine tonight

Pretty woman, don't walk on by
Pretty woman, don't make me cry
Pretty woman, don't walk away, hey...okay
If that's the way it must be, okay
I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow night, but wait
What do I see
Is she walking back to me
Yeah, she's walking back to me
Oh, oh, Pretty woman

 

[Shitlord]

Isn't the retirement age the same for both sexes?

 

[Praetor Lupus]

Isn't the retirement age the same for both sexes?

Hm. May be the case now, when I think about it.

Still more non-working years.

 

[Shitlord]

Regardless, it's a stupid argument. Let's play with his logic a bit. Non disabled people pay more tax then the disabled, so they own the streets more.

 

[WD-40]

The sad thing is, there are already (very old) laws on the books (at least in my state) for unwanted, overly aggressive cold approaching.

Many jurisdictions have laws on the books that can be (and are) applied in cases of stalking or psychologically coercive approaching.

But apparently this isn't good enough for SJWs. They are aiming for a far more sweeping legal interpretation that would allow aggression and/or duress to be presumed for any cold approach.

"Plus, as it is now, women live longer than men. That means over their lifetime, women will pay more in taxes to maintain those streets. Financially speaking, the streets belong more to women than men."

On how many levels is this assertion blatantly idiotic? Holy shit. Let's start with the obvious:

1. It's not even remotely true. Because of the "wage gap" (how the hell could a SJW miss that?) men pay far more in taxes over the course of their slightly shorter life than women do.
2. Even if women did pay more in taxes for the reason he provides, it would be offset by the fact that they use the streets more as a direct result of living longer.
3. If you were to point out to this douche that it is in fact straight, white cis men who collectively pay the most taxes to fund street maintenance, would he then acknowledge that the streets "belong" to straight, white cis men more so than others? Of fucking course not. His premise is so fucking stupid to begin with... and if there's one you know never to expect from SJWs, it's applying their "logic" consistently across all demographics.

This is a legendarily stupid statement. It should be passed down through generations as an example of how twisted people's logic can get when they're intent on arriving at a predetermined conclusion rather than on finding truth. But since it was uttered by a left-winger--a member of the "team" that's currently winning--it will go quietly into the night as far more tame right-wing gaffes about rape and abortion continue to serve as the nation's laughing stock.

 

[Shitlord]

Yeah, you can take his logic and play with it in so many ways he would consider evil. I guess it's OK to an SJW to dehumanize men though.

 

[WD-40]

1. It's not even remotely true. Because of the "wage gap" (how the hell could a SJW miss that?) men pay far more in taxes over the course of their slightly shorter life than women do.

You obviously haven't understood how this works.

Women earn less AND work longer AND pay more taxes because patriarchy and discrimination. In case you should have the temerity to attempt to demonstrate any inconsistency in this, you have thereby revealed yourself to be a shitlord and are fair game for doxxing and other forms of punishment.

 

[Switch]

If it weren't for 'street harassment', I never would have been born. I'm sure a lot of people can say the same thing.

 

[Truth Teller]

This guy looks like a stiff breeze would knock him over.

"The streets belong to women more than men." You mean the same streets that men built, maintain, and continue to do so?

"Don't talk to women in public." Okay, so let's say my phone is dead and I need to call an ambulance. Imagine that in a court.

"Sorry, I couldn't call an ambulance for your husband."
"Why not?"
"I can't speak to women in public."

At least these men are self-selecting for sterility.

 

[SteveMcMahon]

Guys,

Guys, there's nothing wrong with the word "guys", guys. But have you ever noticed how people who overuse the word "guys", who seem to be more comfortable being called "guys" or "dudes" rather than "men", are usually mangina nancy boys?

I’d like you to imagine a single drop of water, clinging to the lip of a faucet. It falls. Plink. It’s just a second in time, a natural moment playing out. Now imagine tying someone to a chair, positioning them under that same faucet, and watching as an endless stream of drops fall against their forehead—some would call that repetition torture.

Even his torture fantasies are pathetic and gay.

Someone needs to show this twink how a man tortures people.

It’s predicated upon the presumption that this is a man’s world. May James Brown forgive me, but that’s just not true.

No, James Brown was right.

You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark

Every building, every lamp post, every paving stone you see around you in a town or a city is there because a man put it there.

The very idea of civilisation, of aspiring to something better than huddling in caves, fearfully peering out at the dark, is a masculine one.

The reason women in the Western world live lives of almost unimaginable safety, luxury, and affluence compared to their ancestors - the reason why they're not in danger of starvation or being eaten by predators or dying of cholera or smallpox is because of the things men have invented and the systems men have built.

The reason this idiot can spread his stupidity all over the internet is because men invented the telegraph, the radio, the computer, the telephone, the LCD display, and the thousands upon thousands of other innovations that made the internet possible.

So how about, you're welcome?

As a black man, I can say that we learn early on in life to be conscious of threatening signals we may send.

The signals he sends can only be picked up on gaydar.

And certainly, if a man says hello to a woman he fancies even though she’s given no sign of interest, that is a selfish act.

:wtf:

One million of his Daddy's sperm and somehow this guy was the fastest? Did his father suffer a debilitating burst of gamma ray radiation to the balls or something?

As much as men like to pretend otherwise, women are not that simple, or that similar. Women are mind-bogglingly complex and multivalent.

Says the guy who'll probably spend the rest of his rapidly fading heterosexuality in the friend zone, before "discovering" he's gay. :ky:

women are human beings with shit to do—they aren’t moving through the world with the sole purpose of acquiring random male attention from you or any other dude.

They're also shopping for shoes and bon-bons and makeup. You know, important shit.

They go under-reported, yet there are countless stories in the news about women being beaten, set on fire, and murdered by men who either catcalled them or wanted to exert their power over a stranger.

What kind of neighbourhood does he live in? I nipped out to the shops earlier on and only saw three women being set on fire.

OK, I personally strangled one, but only because the bitch looked like my mother.

Yet, you expect her to be flattered by your attention, to welcome you with open arms? Ha! Don’t be ignorant.

A woman’s value does not rest on the fact she means something to you.

True. It rests on tit size and how well she can make sandwiches.

1. Don’t dismiss the fears of women

We must bow to fear, even when it's irrational.

2. Respect women as individuals (and not as someone who services men)

Ha ha ha! No.

3. Recognize that all women are different

They're all unique and precious snowflakes.

4. Confront the subtle effects of toxic masculinity

This guy has done it by turning his penis into an "inny".

6. Don’t excuse yourself because you’re white

I don't need excuses, I'm a man. What kind of a snivelling wretch feels he needs to go around apologising for having a dick and liking women?

7. Don’t speak to a woman in public … unless she speaks to you

Yes, Miss Daisy.

 

[enderilluminatus]

Where can you talk to women that isn't public? I don't get it.
