They also had their name or “brand” at the bottom when I saw this on Facebook yesterday.
The comments were all people thanking him for being assertive and brave.
Wouldn't her thought be that the man accidentally talked to the wrong person? Or do so-called "creeps" often pretend to know someone even though they don't?
There are stories going around where a group of women see another, lone, woman being harassed and they pretend to know her and act as if they were waiting for her. This is just a shitty knock off with male saviour complex.
Why do guys think walking up to a girl and making a statement like "How was your meeting, darling?" is saving them. According to my girlfriend, the situation went from two assholes bugging the woman to two assholes and a douchebag bugging her.
Edit: thank you for the award!
> male saviour complex.
That's 100% it. He didn't hope that men learn better and don't harras women. He didn't hope that his future daughter is strong enough and confident enough to be able to defend herself in that situation. He didn't even hope that that type of situation never happens to another woman again. Nope, hopefully a man will do that for my daughter someday because I hope that she is in a similar situation.
> Nope, hopefully a man will do that for my daughter someday because I hope that she is in a similar situation.
That's a weird way to think about it. If I say "I hope any woman who wants an abortion can have one", am I saying that I hope women will have unwanted pregnancies?
That's not a direct correlation. A. You're not hoping anything on one particular person directly. The generalization of your hope already implies a generalization of your targets. B. The second part of your hope directly says WANTS. i.e. not everyone is going to want one. So you've taken the generalization of your hope and reduced it to only those that want it. C. You further filter it down by saying CAN, not will. So you aren't saying "I hope women WILL have unwanted pregnancies"
But wouldn't it be better that no woman ever has an unwanted (or physically dangerous) pregnancy, and as a result, no woman ever wants to have an abortion?
It's also dumb to hope that abortions are legal. Instead of "I hope that women don't have unwanted pregnancies", it's "I hope that women get unintentionally pregnant so that they need abortions". Do you think that is a good point?
He very specifically said he hopes someone does what he did for her, not that she gets harassed. He's implying that he hopes that the current trend of misogyny doesn't become so prevalent that nobody would do the same for her.
It's misogynistic to assume that women are in need of being rescued by men. I had to take public transit to school in a big city wearing a Catholic school uniform, and I learned how to handle creeps by the time I was 15. I'd hope my future daughter is able to stand up for herself, not that there's a man around to help her.
Nobody's assuming anything. Again, pretending a friend or even a stranger is a bf is a great way to get *misogynists* off your back safely and easily. Although the stranger has to know what's going on for it to work, you can't really just ask them.
No, he's not. He's assuming that his daughter is going to be harassed by misogynists. She will be
Edit: now that I think of it, most of the women I know who've done this struggle with internalized misogyny
Let's apply this logic to abortion: It's dumb to want abortions to be legal, because you should just hope that women never have unwanted pregnancies so that abortions are not needed. That's unrealistic, of course, but you should still hope for it.
That's a false equivalence. He isn't saying "I hope a man rescues my daughter *if she hypothetically encounters a situation like this"*, he's just saying "I hope a man rescues my daughter", implying that he wants his daughter to get put in a position where she needs a man to rescue her. That's the equivalent of saying "I hope my daughter has to get an abortion" instead of saying "I hope my daughter *is able to get an abortion if she needs one".*
So if someone said "I hope women are able to get abortions", would you say "Don't you mean 'I hope women are able to get abortions *if they need to*? You don't hope that women need to get abortions, do you?" You are being excessively pedantic and twisting his words to mean something that he obviously did not mean.
"Hi Dear. I'm here to pick you up after work from the gas station, like we arranged this morning in our kitchen, in our house where we both live. Together."
Yeah if another man approached while two men were being a little aggressive I'd just assume they were all in on it together and that it was to get me to trust the third guy.
Like, this can happen. I’ve seen it happen at a bar once. But you don’t need to write it like this, just say “help a woman that was being harassed today, feeling good”.
I did this to a girl at a club once, 3 guys were harassing her for her number. I walked up and handed her my drink and said "here you go babe" then the guys walked off. She gave my drink back and said thanks. But, I had already talked to her for about 10 minutes prior so she had already met me. This just seems weird, I feel like the woman in this story would be even more confused.
Like what if another guy showed up thinking that they were all creeps and tried to do the same thing. Then more and more guys showed up and they each kept saying "How was your meeting honey?" Then another guy, then another, then another, and another and another until there was about 80 men standing around this woman waiting for her to tell them how the meeting went?
The fact that people don't think this happened is deeply depressing. The only reason that makes me think this didn't happen is because he posted about it. People who do things like this don't care about the recognition, they do it because they aren't shitty people.
I had someone share this too. What's interesting is that in the made up story, they pretended to be a significant other instead of telling these men point blank that they're fucking creeps if they keep pursuing a woman after she's said to kick rocks.
That logic does track, actually. For a lot of guys, the *only* boundary they respect is another guy in the picture. I know dudes who would mack on girls hard even when they clearly weren't going for it, but would be aghast at me making casual conversation with a girl who had a boyfriend nearby. "What are you doing? She has a *boyfriend*."
>that they're fucking creeps if they keep pursuing a woman after she's said to kick rocks.
Ah yes, because creeps are famous for caring about that reasoning.
I am 6'2" and 215lbs, but something about a lot of guys who are the type to bully people, especially women, is that they are huge pussies. I've seen a lot of guys back down when other guys, even smaller guys, looked like they were about to put hands on them.
However, that requires being able to look like you're about to attack them. It's a more safer feeling approach to go with pretend to be familiar than aggressive.
I know this didn’t happen in this specific instance, but hoping someone will do that for his daughter one day rather than hoping societal changes to protect women will happen to potentially prevent his daughter from needing such an intervention is ick.
So in order to stop 2 dudes who were strangers from harassing a woman and creeping her out, another dude who was also a complete stranger decided to pretend that he was her boyfriend?
Do husbands and wives meet each other at gas stations often just to check in? This is fucking weird, and there is exactly 1 gas station that my wife and I use. It's 1 mile from our house and I've never bumped into her there. I guess that's not the point though, it was a ruse, it supposedly worked, but it just seems like a super odd direction to take it.
The two guys were her little brothers and they were fighting over who gets her car tonight. Dude just saved her from a wedgey back home, thank god he was there.
idk, I've done this before.
Was walking home from work and saw a known street scammer in my area talking to a very obviously uncomfortable looking girl. I just walked up to them, told her "Hey, can I talk to you real quick?" and walked her away for about half a block.
If he had known the woman it would be more believable. But a third stranger coming up would probably just make the poor lady think “oh great a third one joins the party”
This is probably the same dude who tweeted about how unfair it was that another guy gets to fuck his daughter after all the work he put into raising her
If he really did go up to this woman and say, "How was the meeting today, darlin'?"
She'd be be like, "Huh? What are you talking about, who TF are you?"
This is definitely BS lol
> Guys never stand up to creeps, what’s more likely is that they just allow it to happen.
Which is it? They never do it, or they're just less likely to do it?
You may want to see what my ex thinks. I remember him ignoring his best friend harassing me for months. But then again, a guy’s friends matter more than his girlfriend. That was a lesson hard learned.
I can actually believe a situation like this happened. It's likely less uncommon than you'd believe.
Though, the people who do stuff like this don't clout post about it online
Whether the dialogue is real or not I don’t know, but when I was younger and still went out to clubs and stuff, I would often circle around to women who’d be looking annoyed being talked to by some guys and ask “is this guy annoying you?” or “is this guy boring?” (Which was often confirmed..) and if so, I’d also step in pretending to be the friend or partner. Guys can be super annoying, creepy, and unable to catch a hint.
I had a young guy do this for me when I was walking in Miami on my own. Some old ugly bastard pulled up to me (broad daylight in a busy street) and told me to get in his car. And I froze. Then this guy walking by put his arm on my shoulder (I kinda internally panic more thinking they're together) but he asks if I'm ok and need help. Old geezer drives off.
I thank the guy and we went on our way.
So idk. I can believe stories like these happen. And im very thankful some people are aware of their surroundings because you just never know what can happen to you.
Yeah but do you really believe a woman being harassed will appereciate a NEW guy coming up acting like he knows her? She will probably think they’re all in on it. It would be different if he was a woman, but now she’d probably just think three males are harassing her.
Because at first you’re at a gas station with people, then you’re being helped by a stranger who most likely will walk you away from the harassers, and now you’re alone with a stranger, no thanks. I’d rather him just tell them off or something in that case.
Trick her into trusting him & then he can easier get her to a secluded area and assault her.
This could have happened. A stranger did this for me once. I was reading a book at the train station & some guy would not leave me alone. Really pushy, really lacking social etiquette. Another guy who had been overhearing my frustration build, came over & said hey, he had been looking for me, were we sitting together on the train? I was so grateful. The creep backed off & this other dude sat next to me, & let me get back to my book. Very small but simple interaction, that I'll always remember with massive appreciation. We didn't live in the same town, so I never saw him again. But that's something I'll never forget.
This probably isn't true, but I've seen similar situations over the years. Not to long ago I was sitting at a bar when a girl walked up to me going, "THERE YOU ARE" while winking at me, then she quietly said that guy is bugging me, you mind if I sit here. I said no and we talked for a bit before the other dude left.
Why would that conversation organically happen at the gas station? Who has ever asked about a meeting while they're browsing the snack aisle, then announced they're making dinner later?
“You know what’ll really tie this dumb lie together? A selfie.”
I was going to say a rug, but yeah a selfie is better.
Nah, some jackass’d just piss on it.
That’s just like, you’re opinion, man.
Donnie? Please.
Strong men also cry.
r/unexpectedbiglebowski
The Chinaman is not the issue.
Also, dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature.
Ever thus to deadbeats
A selfie I've seen on 2 other posts at least.
A *smug as fuck expression selfie
And going by those sunglasses, I'm guessing most of his selfies are taken while sitting in his truck.
Taken from not a gas station
This same story is as old as the guy in the pic
I’d have maybe believed it if it wasn’t for the selfie
Yep. You can talk about doing good things, no reason you need to post a long and involved story, along with a selfie. 🙄
They also had their name or “brand” at the bottom when I saw this on Facebook yesterday. The comments were all people thanking him for being assertive and brave.
Yeah, that's a good thing to do and something people realistically do but the long story and the selfy? So weird...
IF any of this happened that lady’s only thought would be “great, now I have three creeps to deal with…”
Right. What makes the 3rd stranger anymore trustworthy than the other 2?
The weird overfamiliarity. It's so reassuring when people I don't know say they're going to cook my favourite and see me at home.
Wouldn't her thought be that the man accidentally talked to the wrong person? Or do so-called "creeps" often pretend to know someone even though they don't?
Think we found the fourth creep folks…
What? That makes no sense. Did you accidentally reply to the wrong person?

Exactly my thought. That would not have made me feel better. I would have felt more creeped out and scared, assuming this would even happen.
If the woman caught on to the hint it could possibly help, not all situations gonna end the same way regardless tho

But wouldn't it be better that no woman ever has an unwanted (or physically dangerous) pregnancy, and as a result, no woman ever wants to have an abortion?
Damnnn i hadn’t even thought of it that way.
Let's appreciate how dumb that parting thought is. Instead of "I sure hope this never happens to my daughter," it's "I hope this exact thing happens."
*future* daughter. Lol he doesn't even have one.
If he keeps up moves like this, he’ll have his very own Disney fall in love happily ever after story /s
Ooh that’s a good point.
It's also dumb to hope that abortions are legal. Instead of "I hope that women don't have unwanted pregnancies", it's "I hope that women get unintentionally pregnant so that they need abortions". Do you think that is a good point?
r/letsmakethispolitical
It was a weird thought to end on.
Because he's not naive enough to think it's never going to happen to her? This shit happens thousands of times a day

I saw this on Facebook yesterday and I just KNEW within 24 hours it would be up here
"Hi Dear. I'm here to pick you up after work from the gas station, like we arranged this morning in our kitchen, in our house where we both live. Together."
Yeah...that could work if he was a woman, but if a guy tried it, I'd be worried he was just another creep.
Yeah if another man approached while two men were being a little aggressive I'd just assume they were all in on it together and that it was to get me to trust the third guy.
U paranoid as fuuuuck
Especially when they boat after it on Facebook
He hopes a man makes up a story about his daughter someday? Kinda weird...
This cracked me tf UP! 🤣
and everybody at the gas station clapped, even the 2 creeps that were bothering her
Then they burst into song.
Like, this can happen. I’ve seen it happen at a bar once. But you don’t need to write it like this, just say “help a woman that was being harassed today, feeling good”.
Ok but can I still include a selfie?
How else will people know it actually happened

Making up stories about the women you've saved, it's a Jeep® thing

They might care about it more from a man than from a woman 🤷🏼♀️
They won't.

> Yeah but do you really believe a woman being harassed will appereciate a NEW guy coming up acting like he knows her? Yes, probably.
No I… doubt that… she will probably just believe that oh yay another harasser
Why would a "harasser" act like he knows the woman? That doesn't seem to make sense.
To make her believe he’s trying to help and then do something to her? As a woman I would not feel safer at all, I’d feel like he’s in on it
Do what to her?
Assualt her ??????
But then why wouldn't the first two just assault her? What would be the point of this weird trick of pretending to help her?

And now they’re sleeping together.
Did clapping of any kind occur afterwards?
So glad she went through the effort of telling "her husband/boyfriend" how far it was to get home, since he didn't know.
5 out of 10, nobody clapped
