(51,528 posts)I'm fully aware that my fear of being viewed as a dangerous threat is trumped by some women actually fearing that I'm a dangerous threat. Not sure it would help if I called out "Hi, I'm not here to rape or kill you, just going for my morning walk" if that would help.
There was an elderly Indian grandfather in Huntsville Alabama who some woman called the cops on him for walking on the sidewalk while looking like a dangerous threat. He didn't speak any English so the cops body slammed him into the pavement and paralyzed him.
And there are rapists out there. There was one who broke into a woman's apartment in my neighborhood recently and one who attacked an early morning jogger. A few months ago there was even a male who was raped by another male at gunpoint. There's no winning. Bad people exist.
