(29,257 posts)It's like a disconnection from reality.
How many people have met friends or lovers or wives through striking up a casual conversation.
Not everyone thinks "Oh, I wanna piece of this girl". There really is a thing called emotions, a spark, a connection, an attraction... and that's what makes the world the world.
And the ultimate irony or ironies is that the people who claim to be on the sides of women's rights also seem to feel that they need to be protected like children from *gasp* human interaction.
Can we draw the line at ACTUAL harrassment which really exists? Whistles, "Hey babes" and that kind of rude behavior? But the thing is, no one here really needs advice on that because I seriously doubt anyone on DU would DO that.
So in the interest of creating people who SEEM to oppose them, who can be falsely labeled as "misogynists" so they will have a springboard to jump off, some here have lowered the bar to include normal human interaction as "harassment".
Fucked up indeed.
