My girlfriend and I were planning on going camping today, but my girlfriend's white suburban middle class parents wouldn't let us, saying it was 'dangerous'. Both her and I agree that white middle class people are way too afraid of everything for some reason, but I don't know why. Any ideas?

    I was in a really rural part of my area and I saw a woman jogging with a straight up 6-shooter. I couldn’t tell if she had a holster or if it was athletic wear specifically meant for firearms, but she was definitely wearing a sports bra and shorts lol

    I just found it funny because the chud depiction of “the city” is that it’s a place where it’s dangerous all the time, while you (at least until x years ago) don’t need to lock your doors where they live. But obviously this woman felt the need to be strapped jogging out in the country.

    To be clear, doing anything as a woman can be fucking dangerous because men can be unimaginably awful, so I don’t blame her at all for having a weapon. I just still think there’s a bit of irony there that I found funny
