    I mean yeah 5-10% of guys are probably alright.

    But like I got called a dude's 'baby girl' while he was grabbing his dick at the grocery store the other day. I feel the need to drag my bf everywhere, no matter how inconvenient, because he scares lesser men with how buff he is. I feel like I'm constantly being swarmed by toxic masculinity everywhere I go, the tragedy of being kinda cute I guess :meow-tableflip:

      I want to say that it's more than 5-10% but your experiences are not exactly inspiring :deeper-sadness:

        Thing is I've been on both sides of the coin sorta (pre-transition stuff) and I still have that assessment :joker-troll:

            Like I can maybe see an argument for like, 5-20% lmao, but then you get into the territory of 'guys who are passive to shitty things happening around them being OK'

            I think I've had random dudes stand up to an intimidating guy once or twice in the probably hundred+ times I've been harassed. Honestly I've been harassed so many times that I can't legitimately put a number on it so honestly just disregard that, no way I can write an accurate starting point

      My wife has this thing we call the death stare. It can be learned and practiced, and it isn't a sure thing, but it can significantly reduce the duration and frequency of chud creeping.

      That said, bringing some kind of self defense weapon with the death stare is a very good idea.

        I've tried that but I think I'm just too harmless looking

          A carefully-presented and held close defensive weapon (pepper spray, stun gun, etc) is all I can suggest then, and I know that doesn't solve or prevent everything. :desolate:

            Yeah it's some peace of mind but it's not like I can legally spray a guy for being a creep, whereas guys can legally make me feel unsafe whenever
