why women aren't overly trusting of men who are strangers or whom they don't know very well.

Here are some links.

One man's response to a common whine:

And someone who got fed up with the constant bullshit and tried to explain it again:

Absolutely Kalidurga Apr 2013 #1

the "all men" thing is what they use to derail any feminist leaning conversations they don't like... bettyellen Apr 2013 #2

That depressing I've yet to meet feminists any where in real life or here Arcanetrance Apr 2013 #3

Well, you missed iverglas by a few months. Dr. Strange Apr 2013 #4

Oh God, I remember iverglas LittleBlue Apr 2013 #5

My vote is with the "everyone" thing etherealtruth Apr 2013 #13

Yes, she did. Jamastiene Apr 2013 #28

I was wondering where she went madville Apr 2013 #80

Yes, she was Canadian. Dr. Strange Apr 2013 #87

That's funny. Go to Eugene Oregon and find hundreds. cliffordu Apr 2013 #29

I hear they also have a huge problem with white supremecists and serial killers! bettyellen Apr 2013 #36

Oregon. It's a whole 'nother planet. cliffordu Apr 2013 #37

i grew up in the So Bx, and frankly, that shit scares me!! bettyellen Apr 2013 #39

Not many White supremacists in my neck of the woods. cliffordu Apr 2013 #56

sorry I am doing the Vt/NH thing... LOL I'm not scared of Portland because I have Swag and Heather bettyellen Apr 2013 #58

I wondered why there were so many killers in Washington state treestar Apr 2013 #86

Really? polly7 Apr 2013 #10

I don't have to, Pol. It will become obvious to Arcane soon enough who the feminst attck squad are. bettyellen Apr 2013 #11

Post removed Post removed Apr 2013 #12

Authoritarian? You sound very confused, Pol. And baiting someone into breaking the rules is really bettyellen Apr 2013 #15

You said there were women here who only speak out because they're 'puppets'. polly7 Apr 2013 #18

You weren't aware that there are plenty of socks here? Well then, I AM educating you. ;-) bettyellen Apr 2013 #20

Your vitriol diminishes anything you might want to express etherealtruth Apr 2013 #27

Accusing people of "derailing" conversations seems a bit odd. Comrade Grumpy Apr 2013 #24

derailing has nothing to do with "authoritarianism". threads are expected to stay on topic bettyellen Apr 2013 #26

And as we all know Summer Hathaway Apr 2013 #34

you seem to be confused, as I was stating what happens to when OTHER people post OPs, not myself bettyellen Apr 2013 #38

No, sweetie Summer Hathaway Apr 2013 #43

I am not your Sweetie, SH. Pls stop this rude phony nice crap Observations are not orders- there bettyellen Apr 2013 #44

I believe your response Summer Hathaway Apr 2013 #48

I guess you have me confused with some fool who is willing to fetch for you, . bettyellen Apr 2013 #54

Again your reading comprehension Summer Hathaway Apr 2013 #55

I have absolutely no concerns about whether good DUers believe the veracity of my statements here. bettyellen Apr 2013 #62

In other words Summer Hathaway Apr 2013 #66

luckily, people around here aren't half as stupid as you imagine them to be. bettyellen Apr 2013 #70

This appears to be a private argument, not discussion. juajen Apr 2013 #85

This is not an argument Summer Hathaway Apr 2013 #89

I'm not a part of any group Dorian Gray Apr 2013 #82

Well written and spot on! Thank you! Vinnie From Indy Apr 2013 #76

Well stated. (n/t) MadrasT Apr 2013 #45

I'm pretty sure this all started when one woman decided to try to explain redqueen Apr 2013 #6

See the article is perfectly well reasoned and thought out Arcanetrance Apr 2013 #7

Yep, just more fake outrage. Same as with the 'holding doors open' idiocy. nt redqueen Apr 2013 #8

about a half dozen people here pretend they don't understand that.... even when it;s been explained bettyellen Apr 2013 #9

I wish they'd quit they're purposely dividing us at a time when we need to be united Arcanetrance Apr 2013 #14

sometimes patriarchy over rides our democratic beliefs. that is all. nt seabeyond Apr 2013 #16

Well.... cliffordu Apr 2013 #32

I have to admit that I think that way. smirkymonkey Apr 2013 #33

I won't accept any help from men I don't know. alarimer Apr 2013 #61

i havent seen any without the word "potential" in the mix so i have to agree nt SwampG8r Apr 2013 #17

Really your gonna go that route and mock this cause I missed a word Arcanetrance Apr 2013 #19

i apologize if it came across like that SwampG8r Apr 2013 #21

I apologize to you as well Arcanetrance Apr 2013 #22

wow, I am impressed! bettyellen Apr 2013 #41

That's cuz no one said that! Texasgal Apr 2013 #23

It's an extremely misunderstood point here. Nobody is saying all men are rapists. Dash87 Apr 2013 #25

It isn't misunderstood.. haikugal Apr 2013 #30

Yeppers, this crap is spammed all over the net, and there is no misunderstanding bettyellen Apr 2013 #40

I won't challenge that assertion Shankapotomus Apr 2013 #31

Or we could simply work more on equal rights for all. randome Apr 2013 #57

If the assertion is Shankapotomus Apr 2013 #60

No, but de-evolving or gene pool manipulations sound very time-consuming. randome Apr 2013 #63

Certainly more power to you Shankapotomus Apr 2013 #67

Let's review, again, the meaning of the phrase. This has been said many times before Squinch Apr 2013 #68

Who knew? Turns out we have ALL the power! All women need to do is stop those pesky wars! Squinch Apr 2013 #59

Not at all Shankapotomus Apr 2013 #64

If your saying my post says all men are potential rapists I'm afraid you missed the point. Arcanetrance Apr 2013 #69

Thanks for this. nt redqueen Apr 2013 #77

Because we expect more - and believe men are capable of more. KitSileya Apr 2013 #71

No argument there Shankapotomus Apr 2013 #73

If you REALLY want to understand what the problem is between Squinch Apr 2013 #74

Thanks for such a good response Shankapotomus Apr 2013 #75

Women are subject to the same stresses and variety as men. Squinch Apr 2013 #78

Awsome response. Shankapotomus Apr 2013 #81

Thank you for saying so! Squinch Apr 2013 #88

When a woman is involved in a relationship with a man, it is not a "reward". redqueen Apr 2013 #79

As I responded to Squinch, Shankapotomus Apr 2013 #83

It's common sense. Something sorely lacking in many discussions nt geek tragedy Apr 2013 #35

Every DUer could potentially write "all men are rapists." aikoaiko Apr 2013 #42

The thread was hidden. baldguy Apr 2013 #46

This message was self-deleted by its author Arcanetrance Apr 2013 #47

Only men that women don't find attractive are considered creepy and rapey... Comrade_McKenzie Apr 2013 #49

what? BainsBane Apr 2013 #50

That's a load of crap about woman considering only the unattractive creepy and rapey Arcanetrance Apr 2013 #51

no, you have to BEHAVE creepy to get a rap as a creeper bettyellen Apr 2013 #72

"Potential" just means it's possible. Deep13 Apr 2013 #53
