Do you make a conscious effort, as a man, to make women feel safe in the streets?

I know there’s a lot of younger posters on here so let me explain.

Us men can be very intimidating to women as strangers. You may be good guy that would never hurt a fly, but unfortunately, a lot of women don’t feel safe when they’re walking alone. Especially if there’s a male presence in the vicinity who they aren’t familiar with.

Seeing a man walking towards them or from behind can intimidate and keep them on edge. I do my best to mitigate that.

If it’s late at night and a woman is walking towards me at a distance, I cross the street. If I’m behind her, again, I cross the street or keep a great distance away from her. If I’m on a train and it’s just us two, again, I do my best to keep my distance.

This may seem over the top but this can make a lot of difference to women. I know I’m going to get the “why have we got to inconvenience ourselves because of a few bad apples?” Well sadly, there are a lot of fukked up guys out there. I’ve never once felt intimidated walking around a bad neighbourhood at 3am in the morning. But a lot of women feel trepidation just walking around in the afternoon.

Unfortunately, almost every woman in my life are reluctant to leave the house alone, even when they’re driving. Us as men should not only try and make our women feel safe but check these morons who get out of pocket with women.

No. I treat everyone equally regardless of sex unless I know them, personally.​
You’ve missed the point completely.

1000 percent.

And with the amount of stories out there it just goes to show how sick some men can be. I have never gone out to harass or cat call or do any of that weird shyt.
This man gets it. It’s not about treating someone equally, it’s about understanding how we don’t live an ideal society. If we can do our best to make our women feel more safe, it’s the least we can do.

I do not make a conscious effort and I never will. What an incredibly dumb thread.

If she’s threatened from me ignoring her while I play Pokémon go on my phone that’s on her. It’s an unfair burden, especially for black men who have to go out the way to look as non threatening as possible in order to avoid having the cops called on them for walking to further inconvenience themselves for the unfairly perceived threats of strangers they probably didn’t notice.
