I wish at least one downvoter would have made an attempt at a counter-argument. I mean, women who fear death wouldn't go on a blind date either. Seems like common sense.

Maybe people were offended by "the enemy".

To be fair to the wordless downvoters, have you ever tried arguing with imp? It's not very productive

I was actually wondering where the pointless back-and-forth between Imp and Antonio was in this thread. I’m fairly new here, but I thought from experience that there had to be such a back-and-forth in every thread.

Fair enough, intractable arguments are frustrating both ways and being frustrated rarely makes anyone more reasonable, so that much is an understandable defence.

You are slipping further and further into the feminist mindset.

It went from paranoia over invisible ConPro stalkers to "they are all bad faith, that's why I'm always right."

I didn't downvote him but I don't agree, and I'm certainly not gonna bother arguing with him either. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up the subject of a True Crime documentary one day, and frankly, the only thing I think could possibly help him is to join a monastery.

There are women who fake their fear, yes. Women's tears are weapons and many of them know it. On the other hand, I think women are naturally a bit androphobic, probably for good and deeply genetically-embedded reasons, but still not very rational in our culture. They don't experience it as an acute fear, like you'd see in pop culture, but more as an anxiety. It's not bad enough to make them actually fearful of men, though it can make them completely neurotic if left unmanaged.

Like any anxious phobia, they can easily fall into patterns where they reinforce their phobia, like an agoraphobe who closes their blinds in the day or an arachnophobe reading about Recluses. For androphobes, that's True Crime. It's not the only one, of course. That little bit of anxiety crack is sprinkled into most pop culture now. True Crime is just ones of the most pure forms of it that doesn't cause (extreme) outrage.

That makes sense, especially about it being an irrational neurosis. We can use that to flip the artist's implied "men need to do better" framing on it's head and change it to "Haha yeah women do be crazy like that".

It is a good idea for anyone to be cautious when meeting random strangers. Some men are probably too brave and don't even consider something bad happening to them.

If you rearrange the letters in NOW, it spells NWO. Coincidence??? I'm on to you, Lilith.
