Nah. I've been choked and forced to give my number before going home from school in Chicago. He held me there and threatened to beat me if my phone didn't ring (if I gave me a fake number). They will kill you for saying no... Women NEED to keep speaking on the violence, harassment and fear men put them through on the daily until the world is tired of hearing about it like we are living it. I rejected a man on the Metra, in broad daylight, and he pinned me down on my back in the seat. He was on top of me with all of his weight and no one did anything while I screamed. Some people started leaving to go into another car, and a woman just sat diagnally from us watching. It was one of the worst experiences of my life.

I bet if those same incels that harass women get the same harassment from gay men, they would feel unsafe and uncomfortable like women feel when they approach women unasked and uninvited.

[@shanicrystal8671]

I hate to say this but it’s the incels who behave like this. That’s why even though women complain about players and f boys, they are not much of a threat to us, they can get women so they don’t tend to hassle one woman. Plus they have big egos so if you reject them they won’t even pay you mind again. But a lonely man who can’t get women is going to get nasty eventually. And instead of working on themselves to become more desirable to women they become destructive towards us too. Confident men are safer than insecure ones. The most masculine men I know do not behave like that they keep their emotions in check and I hate all these buzzwords but it’s the only way I can describe it.

These males honestly don't understand that just because you're interested in her doesn't mean she's interested in you too by default. You don't automatically get a chance just cuz YOU'RE interested. To this day, if I tell a man I'm not interested, he wants to know why and starts trying to change my mind or convince me to give a chance. If I'm not interested, I'm not interested. I'm allowed to be attracted. It's not 1 way

I have some stories from my youth, and we used to give out fake phone numbers too. However men seem to have become way more agressive these days. I can remember that there were many situations where other men stepped in to stop someone from doing something stupid, and it seems that this is not the case anymore. E.g in the situation where the girl at the club was grabbed by the hair, in my youth at least one other random guy would have stepped in and would have told that man to leave her alone. Maybe men have stopped having male friendships and going out with "the boys", so they are not checking on each other's behaviour anymore? I don't know what has changed.

A few minutes later they ride pass me again and throw rocks, dirt, sticks, and some kind of juice on me while laughing and calling me more names. In that moment it dawned on me how evil men could be. Think about it! I don’t know if these men had sticks, dirt and rocks just in the car with them (I’d hope not) so that means they pulled away from me, pulled in somewhere, got out the car, picked up all kinds of dirt and stuff, CAME BACK TO WHERE I WAS, JUST TO THROW THE STUFF AT ME?!?!?!!!! GROWN MEN!!!?! They took all that time, effort, and energy out of their day to embarrass me simply because I didn’t want to give my number to one of them or get in the car with them… I was 14, I’ll be 30 in one week and this memory has stuck with me vividly for many years. It was one of many core memories of how dangerous and hurtful men could be for little to no reason.

I had a bigger wallet back then, so I had passport sized photos of my family in them. Then, the ones who start insulting you for saying no. When I'm out, I tense up when a man speaks to me cos I'm already thinking of ways to remove myself from that conversation safely if things go sideways because some of them believe you owe them just because they said "hello" or complimented you.

Ive been doing this for about the last 15 years. You can't say no politely bc they think bc you're being nice that somehow no means yes. You can't be mean bc that can get you killed or assaulted. You can't say you have a bf or are a lesbian bc they will just say you're lying and continue to follow you and harass you.

Why should I have to do all that? Why can't no mean NO no matter how "nice" it's said. Men have taught us that we can't be nice to them and then get mad at us when they approach us and we have an attitude. Well you taught us we needed to not just say no but say no in a mean way. Otherwise, you think a nice no means yes. Damned if you do damned if you don't. Smh

Do you remember that incident in New York that made the news about a woman at a liquor store buying wine, and they were 2 men beside her at checkout. One of them offered to pay for her wine, and when she refused,politely at that, they attacked her outside. One tried to bite her eye out. She was also bitten on the forehead and severely injured. They asked her if she thought she was better than them. That's all it boils down to; men believing they're entitled to any and all women and a woman saying no is her challenging his "god-given birthright."

[@DrKrysRacquel]

I feel so sorry for this. Crazily these things have never happened to me. I am 5’11” and always been about size 14. Men haven’t felt they can physically get away with assaulting me in public EASILY (probably think I wouldn’t be easy if I fight back). However ONE man called me a b in my twenties while HE walked away. I had a friend that would get followed down the subway at night, presumably a man hoping to attack her! I am convinced men are starting to actually HATE women to the point of assaulting them. Let’s make sure we train our sons well and hopefully get them a good father figure even if one of your brothers. These men are nuts!

[@bunneywolf]

Hunny bunny. Men have always hated women. This is why they were quicker to free slvs and let AA men vote than to give women rights. Hatred for women is stronger than racism. It spans across nations and cultures. It is timeless. The newer Gen is simply having a harder rime concealing it. Maybe 4% of men are actually good people.

[@craffte]

This is true. I will never forget sitting in the hallways of my college hearing girls on the phone trying to swat away boys who are demanding their social security number. I heard one girl call her friend and she had it on speaker phone and her friend was yelling "Girl, that boy is trying to violate you!" And I was glad that her friend was so supportive and strong for her, but I was shocked at how frequently girls had to deal with this getting her number thing. If I didn't give you my number, try me. But a lot of younger women do not have the tools yet. And even now, I have to be alert as I am older. But if someone doesn't understand how modern women are "bitches", man.....come on now. This is why. This is why. No excuses for this shi.

I speak a second language that is not common in the US, so when random men approach me on the street I start talking in that language and pretend like I can't understand English. It works extremely well to diffuse any potential anger they might feel about being rejected, because they think that I sincerely can't understand them. I highly suggest to women who don't speak a second language to at least learn a few phrases in a language that's uncommon in your locale, and try it out. Personally for me it has a 100% success rate so far of avoiding drama, I've been doing it for at least 6 years. I also use this same tactic on panhandlers/people looking to sell things and it works for that too! As a backup to that I also recommend carrying whatever is legal for you to carry for self-defense that you're trained/comfortable to use

I always give out my number even if I do not want him because I've met too many people who gotten hurt or heard too many stories of women getting unalived just for saying no.

Why do you feel the need to talk for a woman. It’s also sad how when a woman is attacked, nobody helps. Men who think like this really need help for real. Learn to take rejection and move on. And stop blaming women for men attacking them. It has nothing to do with what they’re wearing or where they are. Just like women, men know how to control themselves. These certain men choose not to and rather be predators. I know these same men wouldn’t want their daughters to be attacked or taken advantage of

In my state, I lived in an area that lacked diversity. At the time, it was a small number of Hispanics and Blacks back in the mid to late 90s. During this time, there was a lot of colorism happening. For the school year, I decided to avoid making any eye contact, anything that brought attention, and had a very meek demeanor. I wore my hair wrapped up in a bun, dressed down/covered up, and avoided people. If any contact was made, I smiled and nodded my head in my mind as a way to show respect. That year, I avoided any potential fights or issues. However, I lost myself, and till this day, I walk with my head down. People take it as I lack confidence, but really, I developed it as a way to hopefully avoid problems. I don't know how to turn it off now.
