    You inferred one look from a stranger experiencing a traumatic event, that apparently wasn’t reinforced by conversation with her after the fact!? I don’t think you should modify anything about your instincts or responses…

      You psychoanalyzed him from one comment on an Internet forum without a single reply or anything?

      See how that sounds?

        Uh, no? No one’s analyzing here! I basically told them to trust their instincts, rather than defer to the minority opinion of “all men are pedophiles” (based on their interpretation of the Karen’s response). Same advice I would give male lifeguards who would hesitate in possibly saving a life because maybe one person would be hyper-sensitive to any contact. Do what’s good and true and right immediately, and deal with haters later…

          Nah, cause those haters could put my ass in jail.

          So no, I will assess every situation. I ain’t touching a woman who’s down.

          Thank the assholes of the world for that… And also the coworker who flirted with me, and when I didn’t flirt with her, she accused me of sexual harassment and I got fired - 30 years ago.

          The shit is real, (shitty) women have made the bed, they can lie in it.

      All it takes is one person to accuse you for your life to be ruined. Such is the reality of being a man.

          Men’s more than women’s, tbh. Accusations of SA never go away, even if you’re proven innocent.

            Source for accusations against men leading to quantifiably worse outcomes than accusations against women or NB people? I haven’t seen the research that backs up your assertion.

      Don’t you know? Every woman who is middle aged and doesn’t give an appreciating look all the time I want is a misandrist Karen. And if someone dies, it’s her and other women’s fault.
