[QUOTE=Mingebox;42634949]I can see why people would be uncomfortable with someone opening the door for them. Like opening a door is such a basic, effortless thing, but then suddenly someone has go and do it for you, thereby obligating you to acknowledge them and their opening of a door, even though stopping to thank them will probably take just as long as if you had to open the door yourself, but you still have to because it's polite. All you wanted to do is get through the door, but now this guy you don't know, without your consent, has forced you into a brief, but unwanted exchanged of social niceties for some sinister reason. So you have to ask: what does this guy want with you? Where does he get off? Just what is he planning?[/QUOTE] I feel like at some point we should just stop listening to people that feel uncomfortable at everything they possibly can. It's a polite and normal human thing, why the hell are you complaining? "SOMEBODY NOTICED I EXISTED AND EXTENDED A GESTURE OF KINDNESS TO ME? BETTER COMPLAIN!" Society should just agree that these people are fucking weirdos and should be laughed at instead of listened to. I'm sorry if my kindness makes you feel uncomfortable, maybe you should act like a REGULAR HUMAN BEING. Edit: When it comes to this woman specifically, I don't know the details so I won't say too much but it does seem a bit extreme at first glance.

[QUOTE=SuddenImpact;42632145]I am not living in america, but why do people think that all men are sex crazed psychos and all women are frigid prudes? Is it the media? Is it the whole "The gun is good, the penis is evil" thing? Violence good, Sex bad? Here in germany it is the other way around and people are opening the doors for other regardless of sex and without thinking its creepy way of flirting. Do you think opening a door is metaphorical for ripping off the clothes of someone? USA is a pretty strange place.[/QUOTE] I'm not living in germany, but why do people think that all jews are plotting to control all the banks and destroy the aryan race? Is it the media? Is it the whole "master race" thing? Germans good, Jews bad? This post made me realize how interesting the world becomes when you reduce everything to ridiclous stereotypes.
[QUOTE=supersnail11;42634748]Remember the Steubenville rape case, with everyone talking about how it was so sad that the rapist's football careers will be ruined, and blaming the victim for being drunk?[/QUOTE] Mothers all across America realized that "this could be my stupid son" subconsciously so CNN tried to appeal to them.
All i'm going to say is that this country has fucked up conceptions about rape and male/female relationships.

[QUOTE=Keys;42635353]All i'm going to say is that this country has fucked up conceptions about rape and male/female relationships.[/QUOTE] This is irrelevant to the article, this is just one particular instance of a woman being scared when there's little to be scared about. I will agree that SOME people in that country have fucked up conceptions about rape, on both extremes.

And I'm talking hot fuzz levels of fucked up law enforcement here.
[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;42629660]Well, it's not like women aren't being constantly bombarded with the message of "be paranoid or you will be responsible for you being raped", right?[/QUOTE] yeah except they arent once again you show how out of touch with reality you are, please stop spending so much time on srs

Do you think opening a door is metaphorical for ripping off the clothes of someone? USA is a pretty strange place.[/QUOTE] Men in the United States like it when a woman plays hard to get. But you see, its something of an arms race. It used to be she could just call you a name or hit you in the face with a bit of pipe, but now that just doesn't do it for your average joe. Now she has to sick the police on you like you are some kind of psycho rapist. It's all good fun, though dating does get expensive with all the trips to the hospital for bullet wounds and replacing the front door from the SWAT teams. You used to hope a new lady would answer "sure, we can grab a cup of coffee", but now it is all about "Police! Search warrant!"
Reminds me of around Valentine's Day Senior year in high school... I had a class with this chick I was in to (also had other classes with her, so we knew each other to an extent), and at the same time we were in the same group working on a project. Well, I finally came up with a way of letting her know I was in to her (I was still pretty terrible with girls at the time), and that was to buy her a heart-shaped card and candy that the school was selling during lunch time. I didn't even actually put my name on it, because in my head it would work out so worst comes to worst that she didn't fancy the gesture, she wouldn't really know who it was from. But, ideally what I was looking for was for her to hopefully bring it up in conversation during class. Something like: "I got an anonymous Valentine, I wish I knew who it was from..." "Oh, well I think I know who it was....Me ;)" Well, neither happen. She figured out I sent it to her (or the courier who was delivering them to classes just told her it was from me), and cried fucking wolf to the principal. It was one of the most embarrassing things to be talking about with a principal, and very unnerving to think I might get in some fucking trouble for essentially saying I LIKE YOU to a girl. Luckily I didn't get any disciplinary punishments, other than a warning of sorts, but what was left was an extremely awkward rest of the semester for the two of us as we still had to work together but treat each other like mannequins. Well ok, I'm exaggerating a little, she kind of got over it after a few weeks, but she never fucking looked at me the same way again.
well considering we don't even know what the note said, what he had done to her previously or whatever i think it's a bit presumptions to say it's an overreaction. and we know nothing which would assume the opposite. so really
[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;42629660]Well, it's not like women aren't being constantly bombarded with the message of "be paranoid or you will be responsible for you being raped", right?[/QUOTE] you really had to say it, didn't you? every time someone brings something like that up, even when painfully unwarranted, a shit storm rages for 15 pages and it's getting pretty damn old.

[QUOTE=NO ONE;42638136]Reminds me of around Valentine's Day Senior year in high school...[/QUOTE] Wait, so she was complaining to the principal because you gave her a Valentine on Valentine's Day? I can understand how things can get awkward when someone admits their feelings to someone who doesn't reciprocate them. One time I told a girl that I had feelings for her, but she didn't return those feelings. Things got so awkward between us afterwords that our friendship had pretty much dissolved by the end of the semester. But that shit should not warrant a trip to the principal's office, especially if it's happening on Valentine's Day, the day where that kind of thing should be expected.

It was quite a kneejerk reaction. She could have kept cool and just talked it out with me, simply letting me know she wasn't in to me. But nope, she had to freak the fuck out and make a big deal out of it. I mean I've never had any sort of history with stalking or mistreating girls, and pretty much every other rejection I experienced in high school went smoothly with the girl just expression no interest in me (some more strongly than others). So with no real bad reputation preceding me, I really don't know where the hell she got it in her mind that my interest in her would lead to her being mistreated or whatever the fuck she was thinking. That's why this story reminds me so much of this experience, because some women just get these ridiculous ideas in their heads from even the most innocent of things.
