The original post is seeped in disappointment and frustration not hate. That guilt it inspires in you? I'd redirect it as anger to those that are committing the crimes. All she's doing is asking you to be a decent human being. And... you know what? She asks the same thing of women.
Worried about a street confrontation? That's what 911 is for. If you can't handle it, call in help.
It's hard for women to tell when a guy is stepping up because he's a decent human being and when he's stepping up, because he wants a reward.
Thank you for the times that you've stepped up. We appreciate it.
But the other men, who've stepped up and then expected us to reward them for it- date them, sleep with them, etc- they've made us wary. Don't blame us, blame them.
