    Feeling insulted is a red flag dude. That’s an aggressive response to something that doesn’t actually affect you negatively if you aren’t a threat. If you are good, your actions will demonstrate this, and women won’t feel so threatened.

    Are you insulted when a kitten is wary of you? And hides under the couch because you might hurt her? Do you blame the kitten for running from your imposing stature and booming voice? If a kitten was abused before making it to you, do you hold it against the kitten? Or do you nurture her and show her that you are a friend and that you have no intention of ever hurting her? People need to feel safe the same way a kitten does. This is not a bad thing.

        Do you seriously lack this much reading comprehension, or are you just pretending to be daft?

            Emotions are inherently irrational. Deal with it. Trauma is inherently irrational. You’re cherry-picking the part of the paragraph that you think makes the other argument seem absurd. If anyone here’s the irrational one, it’s you.

              So you’re saying women are too stupid to act rationally? Come on, man. Women are intelligent people. They don’t get a pass if they do something stupid, they’re not helpless kittens, they have agency. They are not slaves to emotion.

            A significant portion of women have either been sexually assaulted or harassed. Being wary of men (especially strange men in the hypothetical vulnerable situation) makes perfect rational sense.

              No, actually, that’s not rational at all. That’s textbook irrationality. That’s feelings, not thought.

        Wow, cryophilia that might be the most dishonest argument I’ve seen. It certainly is the worst one i can think of. Read a whole post before responding, Oh intelligent and rational one.
