But counterpoint; why do you care what other people feel around you? The best response to women scared you’re going to rape them is to not rape them.
Anything past that is your own insecurity and need for emotional validation. Sure, you could devote time and energy into being an activist in whatever forms you want, but some strange lady you don’t know is still going to cut across the sidewalk when they see you approaching. AND YOU CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. DEAL WITH IT.
Men “overcompensating” for this valid fear is what’s driving movements of really stupid, shitty men who like to roleplay stories on reddit how they had the cops called on them for hanging out near a playground. We don’t need to do this. Make the world better, make your emotional state better. Don’t worry what other people feel or think, you will never be broadly loved by everyone, or even broadly accepted by everyone. You’ll be lucky if you have several people in your ENTIRE LIFE who trust you. That’s the sticks. Sorry kid.

Bad take, you’re dismissing society’s effect on the psyche of many men by saying these things
