Orrrrrr maybe people are different and react differently to the constant barrage of rape culture bullshit. Maybe these comments aren't true for every single person everywhere in the world and you need to maybe not take things so personally. Just a thought.

If those kind of comments weren't so common, I would just shrug and move on.
But if people keep insisting that most women spend their life being scared, I have to wonder.

The problem is the overwhelming responsibility that's put onto women to prevent anything from happening to them, far beyond what's rational, while at the same time being chastised for it. In that situation given, there's no way she can win: either she's seen as paranoid and a terrible person for assuming that he intended her harm, but she acts accordingly and stays safe-- or, if something had happened, she would be told she wasn't observant enough and it's still her fault for letting him in. This is how our culture reacts. To assume otherwise is just shutting your eyes.

I never had to learn any of that because I was never told I was unsafe, and no men have ever tried to do anything to me. I should consider myself lucky, but when people say if I'm not scared then I'm shutting my eyes, I wonder if something's just wrong with me. Wrong because I'm really stupid, or because I'm too repulsive or pitiable for even the worst men in the world.
