    In all seriousness, yeah, we (women) all know that’s how it is. The image is critiquing the status quo though, because it’s fluffing stupid.

      And the stupidest part of it is that this status quo hurts men too. Because they don’t realize that perpetuating it makes women afraid of men (with a valid reason).

      Hell, right now, if a man approaches a woman, her first reaction is fear and distrust, and it’s justified because they learned that it’s better to fear a man and be safe than to trust him and be sorry later. And this is hurting men too because makes it harder to find someone even if you are a sane (as in not a potential rapist) individual. Helping to perpetuate this status quo is basically shooting ourselves in the foot, repeatedly.

      PS: just in case it wasn’t clear, I speak as a male human being. 👀
