Woman says she's afraid of sexual assault late at night. Other redditors say she's complaining too much.

Did the person who asked this question think it was going to work out well?

How can you look at someone who's obviously scared of something, and then immediately call her a coward and list off other things she should be afraid of? Just...how?

I guess you live in a shitty part of the town. If cat-calling and assault happens regularly, then it is probably time to move.

???

I always wonder like, are these men deaf? They never hear any catcalling? I was walking out of a bakery in sleepy little Regina, Saskatchewan at 11:30am on a Tuesday and some motherfucker had the temerity roll down the window of his truck to yell "I WANNA MOTORBOAT THEM TITTIES!"

I am a woman of average attractiveness. I was wearing a winter coat. It was, as mentioned, Tuesday morn. Where the hell am I gonna move to, asshole? Greenland?

I don't understand why it bothers them--it doesn't affect them. So some women say they're afraid--they're the ones who have to deal with feeling afraid and no one else, so what's the point in lecturing about it?

Lol this exchange

At issue here isn't your fear of being raped, it's your daily fear of being raped. That's not normal.

I know it's not normal. It'd be great if people stopped raping each other on a daily basis, maybe then I wouldn't have to fear it so much

Reddit: "why are you so scared of rapists?"

Woman: "they rape people"

Reddit: "why are you scared though?"

Why are you fearing sexual assault on a daily basis???

[–]DiggWasWayBetter 9 points 20 days ago

Because she holds severe prejudices about men.

loooooooooool this isn't real life. that entire thread is full of mind blowing idiocy

EDIT: upvoted idiocy at that

[u/smurgleburf]

when a woman is justifiably afraid for her safety around strange men: omg NOTALLMEN you're a paranoid misandrist!

when a woman is raped or murdered: well why wasn't she more cautious?!

women literally can't fucking win.

[u/[deleted]]

I fucking hate these MRA types. Everything has to be about men with them. It's not unrealistic for a woman to be scared about being raped at night in a shitty area because women tend to be the biggest targets of rape.

Also, being murdered or robbed are worse? Rape is terrifying. Rape is mentally crippling. Who the fuck are these people to criticize her? Jesus fucking Christ.

That may be one of the most infuriating threads I've ever read on Reddit.
