Imagine this scenario: It's 12:30am and your dog woke you up because it needs to go to the bathroom. You walk outside and sleepily shuffle down the street in your slippers. Suddenly you spot a man, half naked with a comforter draped over him, stumbling out of the park…— Michelle Tandler (@michelletandler) April 9, 2023

just an absolute insane screed, starting with her crying about having to see homeless people (note that absolutely nothing happened to her in each of these 'incidents'), leading to her calling for armed vigilante gangs of 'real men' to publicly hang the homeless. what a fucking ride.

    White woman lists a number of situations in which she felt uncomfortable but was in fact unharmed. Somehow this confirms that she was in danger.

    What’s so annoying is I know so many people (specifically white women) who do this exact same thing. They’ll say how they don’t feel safe in public especially at night and their evidence for being unsafe is a list of situations where they weren’t harmed - most of the time all that happened was “An unhoused man spoke to me”

      This is going to sound rude, but women (especially conservative/liberal white women) forget that the majority of violence is and always has been done by people that they know and trust. The likelyhood of your significant other, friend or an acquaintance doing violence is statistically far more likely because they are able to get you into situations where they feel they can get away with it.

      This isn't to say don't trust people, but the first thing abusers do is try to isolate you, and the homeless have nowhere to isolate you, they are literally out in public. As well, most homeless people, even the mentally unwell ones, know that if you call the cops the cops will always side with you, so they really aren't going to fuck with you. If they are abusers they will instead primarily prey on other homeless people.

      Anyone have a good take on how to strike the balance between respecting subjective experiences and situations like this, where an objective view of the situation says something very different?

          I mean, apply this to someone who reports a sexual assault, or some type of sexual misconduct that stops short of that. There are harder cases out there.
