@theconvolt Thank you! The thing that really changed it for me was reading a story here on Reddit where a woman would turn off her music and engage with men - thinking she needed to be polite. And the responses were saying: you don’t owe him polite or a response. He’s being rude by...

@christianteen1997 Yes, I want help on one specific item- that’s not an open invite for all unsolicited help!

@4lilcubs Haha! Thank you!

@smclem Ugh yes! Which is so icky because you are in such a vulnerable / below position in that move. Also, I was taking to my husband about it and he was saying, some men think that any woman, doing things in the world, while lookin good, is seeking attention and wants men to stop by. What...

@avianna_peace Same! I feel like I found a piece of myself that was missing

@di4g0n4leye Right! That’s absolutely what it comes down to!

@smiley154728 Yes! It’s totally their expectation that if they want my time any attention, they get it. It’s just so, entitled...? And I also think men have no idea that women feel unsafe around unknown men. Like, a man coming up to me isn’t a welcome thing. It’s setting off alerts and...

@gumcareblog Yes! I came to a similar thought today: my goal each day is movement and meditation. But, movement doesn’t have to be a “workout.” Dancing is good. A walk is great. Yoga is perfect. Stretching works too. Giving myself the freedom to move in any way that makes sense to me that day...

@dawn16 Yes! I think totaling ignoring/ avoiding eye contact is the next level. It takes some real steel to pull that off. I’m kind of scared because the last time I completely tried to ignore a guy like that, he was insistent and pissed. It was outdoors, in a kind of quiet, tucked away space...

@michaelallanson Yes- It’s being caught off guard! And then my limbic system is like: either play dead or fight for your life!

@kabriana Thank you! I know! It was so fulfilling to be striking again! I knew I missed it, but didn’t realize how much.

@echegoyen That’s amazing! I’m going to look for those! I love that it’s clear communication + some humor, which is really my ideal way to deal with things.

@efraim7praise Yeah, it’s the salty and passive aggressive that is problematic! You absolutely didn’t own him anything! You know what’s best for your body and movement patterns!

@jadestarr Thank you! Appreciate that!

@ayryil Yes! I use the dead stare too - usually reserved for when I’m out in the world, walking around. It takes nerves of steel for me sometimes, but worth it.

@preshess I’ll put boring/ vacuous into my “look” toolkit! Thanks for the idea

@wolfe17 Omg! I can’t even imagine...

@dawn16 Sure is!

@godislove1 Oh, I forgot to count all the Rogan Bros. They probably do all know more martial arts than me... /s

@superpanas Ugh! Yes! Good for you!
