[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm not the PP, but I think women have this idea that men are constantly observing other men harassing and assaulting women, or bragging about it, and "doing nothing about it." But that has not been the case for me. I've literally never seen anything that looked like a rape, sexual assault, etc., or heard anyone bragging about anything that sounded like it. I'm not saying that it isn't a widespread problem. I'm just saying that the assumption that men are just looking the other way isn't really accurate either. [/quote]

No, you're saying "I haven't done it, ergo it's not widely done".

I just can't with this logic. It's like arguing over the color of the sky.

Look, ultimately the problem is multi-faceted, and involves a broad cultural shift that likely involves everyone. Yes, everyone. But to be clear, the primary issue is not women's "ideas", or "assumptions", and this is not women's problem to solve with pepper spray and community meetings. Thank you for not being one of these guys. Please encourage your male friends and co-workers to follow your example by: listening to your female colleagues, asking rather than assuming if you want to pursue someone romantically. Being ok with "no". It's a small ask for a step in the right direction. [/quote]
