Why is it some men get all offended if a woman they don't know is wary around them?

157. No, you're reading hostility where there is none.

I try discussion instead of snark in these conversations. What I'm telling you is that statistically women have every right to be wary. In reality, we have every right to be wary. In actuality, we understand that the vast majority of men are NOT rapists.

The men in my life think rapists are the amongst the lowest form of human life. The men I know would stop any assault or harassment they saw. There is a growing movement among men to ally themselves with women in light of the violence against women statistics, and what women experience.

It doesn't have to be 'us against them' it can be a cooperative effort to make the world safer. The OP was expressing wariness, I don't blame her. You are defending your position as presumably, a man of honor, who has no wish to be seen as a rapist--ever. I don't blame you. There is room for dialogue and understanding here. It usually takes a bit to get there.
