LOL i would laugh like he did if i was him

#95, pepperspray is a good idea, because you're only ever gonna use it in a real emergency. Maybe if this idiot carried some she wouldn't be so scared of shadows.

Well at least he had a good sense of humour about it!

LMFAO

#86 / coffeennicotine: Previous posts by you, your nick, and this post show that you are an idiot. Shut up. "You challenge my conclusions. You must be a rapist!" We are all stupider having read your message. heyyou1203: I've seen your posts as well. You are a bit militant regarding femininty and women's rights and all that, yet the things you say are rarely empowering, educational, or in any other way helpful. The fact that you don't want to deal with is that enough women have done what the OP did that no one believes you any more. Women have "cried wolf", and what you see in this thread is the result. The solution is for you to DEFEND YOURSELF. By the time you need help, it's too late. Rarely will help come in time, if it comes at all. Instead of living your life in fear and having people call you an idiot like the OP, learn to use a weapon and carry it. Take a boxing class. Do whatever it takes to make yourself FEEL and BE safe. What the stats are on actual rapes/attacks is not the issue here at all. It's the fact that women have lost credibility. We no longer sympathize with you because so often it's something ridiculous, like the OP.

lmfaooo omg i'm dying of laughter right now!! that exact same thing happened to my friend we were walking and i saw the runner she didnt and when he was behind her she screamed so loudly and i laughed so harddd. its hilarious you cant blame the guy for laughing im not voting FYL or YDI just because its neither of them. that is hilarious though!

LOL @ 13

Some paranoia might be a good thing. 8% of women will have a stalker in their lifetime, those aren't really good odds that any one particular woman is going to have one, but they still have to be careful. If you're really frightened, take some self-defense or carry some mace, if you're really scared then carry a taser(sp) just don't break them out whenever you see a shadow. Because if you spray some innocent person because they're walking behind you, or because they say hi as they pass you on the sidewalk, well, then you're probably going to be charged with assault.

...because every shadow in every park belongs to a rapist. I highly recommend therapy.

OP: I'm going to repeat what many others have said, you are a ******* moron. Rape statistics are highly unreliable because they are created by people who have some stake in them. I tend not to trust any stats put forth by feminist organizations because they use them as fuel for the man-hate that they want. My fiance had consentual sex with a girl who later told her parents that he raped her so that she wouldn't get in trouble for being out past her curfew. So yeah, women are dumb.
