Actually that is pretty much how I comport myself at all times.

Unless specifically assured otherwise, I assume that a strange woman that I happen to pass on the street has no interest in me engaging with her in any way whatsoever. Given the abundance of creepy guys out and about, I would assume that every woman I meet treats strange men with at least a little bit of caution.

I'm sorry the world is this way, but I don't want to make anyone even the slightest bit uncomfortable.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
