and how awful is that?

to avoid this thing that we could change women have to not go out in public.

okay. we're entitled to speak. (note: having a right to do something doesn't always make it the right thing to do. w/great power comes great responsibility. so if we have the right to speak to women that doesn't necessarily mean we should do it and it doesn't necessarily mean we should do it the way we do it.)

you know what? just listen to women who've explained why they don't want us to treat them the way we do in public. and then think about it.

i used to think differently about this but then i heard from enough women and i changed my mind. i dunno what to tell you.
