I want men to stop giving women advice that's like "If you get hit on in an inappropriate place / situation you need to be blunt! If you are nice / polite, the creep will see that as an invitation!"

Do we really have to tell you why a woman might choose a de-escalating tactic??

You need to realize that as a woman, we can't win in this situation. We will either get told that we were "nice, thereby flirty", or (when blunt) that we're arrogant and awful (And there's the risk the man might get angry & aggressive!).

Also, instead of telling women how to react, tell off your male friends when they're creeps.

The thing is no matter how you handle it, some men will get upset and they may still not leave you alone. But also, I get to be a person existing socially without being a sex object. I should be able to hang out and have fun and make friends without you assuming that means you’re entitled to fuck me. If you’ve so far been a cool dude I will let you down gently. But I have yelled in a man’s face before and I’ll do it again. I don’t owe you shit.
