    Because the people feeling others up in public are few, but the issue is presented like its the majority.

    Sexism against men has been increasing so much, that people dont even question it now. They see something and just assume it must be true. Like men are responsible for 91% of all violent crime. Sounds awful right? I mean, 91%. Thats huge! But then you actually look at it, and that 91% is done by less than 1% of the male population. But for some reason, “men” need to do better. The implication being that this violence is done to women. Which it is… 10% of the time. Men are most likely to be the victims of violent crime at a whopping 81%. In fact, another common belief is that women cant walk the streets at night. They often say things like “If I was a man, Id go for a walk at night and not be afraid.” Which is pretty fucking stupid when you look at the stats. In fact, as it currently stands, women are far safer walking alone at night than they are when they got home. Because 90% of the time, the violence they suffer is from men they live with. Fathers, brothers, uncles, husbands, boyfriends, etc.

    You dont need to ask the general public not be creeps. Because the majority of people are not creeps. I used to get felt up by women all the time while working as a glass collector in an upmarket club. It wasnt even close to being the majority of the women, but it was some of them. Should there be signs telling ALL the woman to get their hands off the 18 year old picking up glasses? If youre the type of person who grabs at people, chances are, youre the type of person who doesnt care about being nice and not creepy. So why bother with the sign? Just so you can claim some moral superiority over a group of people that are perceived to be creeps? And thus, the reason for the pushback unveils itself. Its not about being against the message, its about being against the virtue signal and the constantly spread fiction that men are all creeps and women are all victims.

      There’s no gendered language on the sign. You’re telling on yourself.

      So why bother with the sign? Just so you can claim some moral superiority over a group of people that are perceived to be creeps?

      To reassure cosplayers that creeps aren’t tolerated.

        But there sure as fuck is in the comment section, isnt there? Because all the cave brained cunts in the world just automatically assume. The only thing Im telling about my self in that comment, is exactly what it said. The fact you disagree, is you telling on your self, you sexist piece of shit.

          Neither of the comments upthread from your “men are the real victims” pity party used gendered language either.

            Never said “Men are the real victims” or had a pity party, and you saying it doesnt make it so. Maybe if you could read, and maybe if you were a fucking prick, youd see what I saying instead of trying to twist the truth so that you dont have to deal with the fact that youre a piece of shit cock womble, spewing sexist trash in the hope some girl sees you as “Not like the other guys”.

            Youre pathetic.

                  You get those a lot, huh?

                  Least I don’t call people cunt and sexist in the same sentence multiple times in the same thread.

                    Everyone gets those a lot, from weak pathetic little wannabes like you. You have nothing original or even interesting to say. Just repeat popular thing, which you just did again. Like me calling you a cunt is at odds with you being sexist… What a fucking moron you keep proving yourself to be. And sad thing is, at the end of all this. You still wont be able to get a girl to touch you…

      Why does this bother you so much if the sign isn’t about you?

      No one said it was, you decided it was. The sign doesn’t mention gender, and further it’s about taking photos, not touching people.

      I’m really sorry anyone felt entitled to put their hands on your body without your consent. That really sucks. They absolutely should put up signs reminding people to keep their hands to themselves at your old job. I’m guessing the old bats thought they could get away with it because it was wink wink ok with the culture of the place. If people are being touched, the place should make it clear that’s not tolerated and then act on it when you report it. The signs might not stop the pervs but maybe they would signal to the 18 year old that your boss would agree that that’s never ok, and you should report it and there should be consequences.
