    This is how we know you’re not a woman. Someone willing to break social norms to film you is also more likely to break social norms around violence or retaliation.

      Women can only politely follow social norms?

      What kind of sexist nonsense is that. Suffragettes were firebombing, letterbombing, and bombing misogynist politicians in the early 1900s to get rights. Women are quite capable of fighting for themselves.

        awesome. but the lady walking to the grocery store isn’t likely to bring a molotov just in case.

        that and males in general are quite strong compared to most females.

        i am capable of fighting for myself to a certain degree, but risking my own death for confronting a psycho filming me is not exactly how I want to go out. nor is the law likely to be on my side if I were to try and punch him in the nose over it.
