You import 3rd world savages you better import the protection mechanisms their societies have developed, too.

The newest fashion trend: burqas light.

Isn't diversity great?

To some extent it is the fault of white men, that they would let people like women and jews get enough political control to enact immigration like this. They will never admit the actual causes and just project that it's evil white men doing everything though.

Carola Rackete

Oh, this fucking bitch. She and that NGO "SeaWatch". They were one of the driving forces in turning the "refugee" crisis of 2015 into a fucking taxi service - of course with lavish presence across the entire german mainstream media offering.

Here a "fun" fact: Guess who one of the major sponsors for that NGO are? THE FUCKING GERMAN EVANGELICAL CHURCH.

Who could have possibly seen the erosion of women's freedom and liberation coming with invasion of spics and arabs and indians?

Claire Henrick decided to hang out on a friend’s roof. She slipped into a vintage baby blue tank top and camouflage miniskirt for the occasion. But before she left for the day, she grabbed an extra-large white T-shirt to cover it all up. It’s a trick the 24-year-old content creator learned from TikTok: use a dumpy “subway shirt” to conceal the actual outfit you plan to wear out. It will keep creeps from staring during the commute.

Did she ever consider not dressing like a whore? Amazing how women have managed for years before simply by not showing as much skin as humanly possible.

“It’s a way to protect my safety getting from point A to point B,” Henrick said. “I don’t want to become a target, as weird as that sounds.”

“I don’t want Random guys I don’t find attractive to see me in the outfit that I want attractive guys to see me in.”

Such a dilemma for the young whores these days

New Yorkers love to shed their winter layers as soon as the first signs of spring hit the city. But for women who take advantage of sundress season, the much-anticipated warm weather can also bring unwanted attention. Not that it should. There is little evidence that harassment or assault is motivated by what a victim wears, and clothing is never a justification for cat-calling. Still, anyone who does not want to risk it may utilize the subway shirt, which is also known colloquially as an “outfit dampener”.

If there’s no evidence that assault is motivated by what a victim wears then why are women wearing “subway shirts”…

Ajana Grove, who is 19, moved to New York from Nebraska. “I learned quickly that I can walk around and do what I want to as long as I’m covered up,” she said. “Every time I forget my subway shirt, I instantly regret it and think about turning around.” Grove has a few dedicated shirts she tries to keep in her bag, and she encourages her friends to do the same. “I’ve noticed it since I moved here – the male gaze is a physical feeling,” she said. “Even if I’m not paying attention, if someone’s staring at me, I feel it.”

How is this not parody?

Leora Tanenbaum is the author of I Am Not a Slut: Slut-Shaming in the Age of the Internet. She also documents racist and sexist school dress codes on her Instagram account. “I think it’s fantastic these TikToks are raising awareness of the harm caused by sexual harassment and assault in public spaces,” Tanenbaum said. “Hopefully, more people now will recognize how scary it can be to simply go about your day, including taking the subway, when you present as feminine.”

“Present as feminine”….

Yeah. The linebacker in the tube top and ratty wig is presenting as feminine, but nobody is eyeing him up. If anything they’re trying to avert their eyes.

"She also documents racist and sexist school dress codes on her Instagram account" doesn't the premise of the article nullify this?

Yes, please, cover up you filthy whores. At least, if your immodesty is bringing you shame because your conscience is still working.

By the most ass-backwards way possible, lol.

Similar to how the ultimate conclusion of CRT will be "our group identity intersections are so varied that we are effectivly all individuals", so too does feminism eventually arrive at "we need men to protect us from the world".

Looketh not in my direction, peasant.

Do they think tiktok literally just invented the concept of dressing modestly if you don't want to be looked at?

Many such cases. Saw a compilation of a bunch of 30+ year old women saying really creepy stuff to Justin Bieber when he was under 15 the other day.

Women have been fetishizing gay men for decades so this isn't much different. Social media just means everyone else is unfortunate enough to bare witness.

Isn't this just, like, common sense? If you're going to a cosplay convention dressed like some fucking elf and you don't want weird looks on the way there, you wear something over it change once you get there. If you want to slut it up at a friends house but don't want weird looks on the way there... well.

New York is one of the safest large cities in the US

in the US

sounds true enough to me... We're not comparing it to Tokyo, here.

They did qualify with "one of", and crime stats are usually weighed per-capita, so you could say it's more or less true. I don't know how accurate this is but here's few NeighborhoodScout ratings for comparison.

https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ny/new-york/crime - New York Crime Index: 15 (higher is safer)

https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/fl/orlando/crime - Orlando Crime Index: 4

https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/md/baltimore/crime - Baltimore Crime Index: 3

https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/tx/houston/crime - Houston Crime Index: 2

Not sure how fair that comparison is, because it measures the entire city averaging safe neighborhoods with dangerous neighborhoods. Some of us would rather judge a place by its worst areas.

I notice they always use a term like “holla at” for the same behavior described by “cat-call” when it’s done by a favored demographic. I suppose it’s only “cat-calling” when it’s in one direction on the progressive stack.

Wrapped up in every single thing of this general nature, to also include #MeToo and #YesAllWomen, ostentatiously whining about walking alone at night, and everything else you can think of, is a woman trying to smuggle the following proposition into your attention without saying it outright:

“I am attractive enough that men want me.” (Edit: and maybe even more specifically, “I am attractive enough to where the number of men who want me is higher than the number of men I would take.” Hence the certainty that she will be assaulted!)

That’s it, that’s all. “I’m doing this so I don’t get assaulted” implies someone has assaulted her, or that she thinks it likely someone will, and that all derives backward to what women naturally want: to be seen as attractive. There are giveaways in other parts of female rhetoric: note how Lizzo doesn’t say “I’m obese as hell and fuck you if you don’t like it” (which I would respect, honestly) but instead she says “I’m obese and I’m the new beauty standard!” Thats all modern day feminism is, and why it’s so youth-oriented and wrapped up in dating strategy and the language of dating. Women want to feel pretty, but some of them can’t admit that and have to sneak the idea through while wrapped up in empowerment and fierceness and YAS KWEEN rhetoric. I for one am not fooled.

Every now and then, a progressive reverse engineers their way back to tradition and acts as if they have discovered Atlantis.

For how many decades were we told to stop telling women that could reduce their chances of being preyed upon by not dressing like prostitute? Now here we have The Guardian, of all places, informing us all that that thing we were told was 'victim blaming' is a good idea after all.

Well done to the women who have have finally figured out that walking around near reprobates with your tits and ass out is a bad idea. Congratulations on finally doing something to take responsibility for your own safety.

Now, do us one final favour and tell us what makes you feel safer around the men in the than around the men in the subway.

...Could it be their ethnicity and economic status?

Why not just go for full-on Burqas? That's what, essentially, they are claiming they need. Also has the added benefit of there looming a potential "hate crime" accusation to be launched at anyone who so much as looks at them the wrong way.
