This seems like a completely reasonable course of action:
Oh, by the way, I know a guy who’s a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, and he can fly and turn invisible.
Not at the same time, though. When he forgets and turns invisible while flying, he plummets to earth.
Good to know he’s not crazy or over cautious.
Why are his wife and daughter okay? They’re women too!
‘Cause those crazy bitches love nothing more than to ruin an innocent man’s life, amirite? It’s one of women’s favorite pasttimes, falsely accusing men.
It’s not women this CEO doesn’t trust. He doesn’t trust himself. (If he exists, that is.)
My mommy taught my brother and I exactly the same thing when I was only six, except she said it was men that you should never be alone with. Maybe he got confused.
So, what did the guy do? Offer to trade them a ride for a blowjob? That is how it is usually done, and it is indeed disorderly.
The news story does seem stupidly histrionic, if what happened is what’s reported to have happened.
What news story, Graham?
Reverse what the commenter there is saying, substitute man and radical feminist. PAUL ELAM would REGISTER HER.
I mean a woman can’t even openly worry about her toddler daughter having her pants pulled down in a preschool by a man, so come on now 1000 gigibyte reward for the person that can come up with this “minor public figure”‘s doxx now.
The news story Graham is referring to is the one they’re talking about in the Reddit thread this is from, one about a guy who got charged with disorderly conduct after offering two 13-year-old girls a ride in a snowstorm. Which seems absurd, if it happened as described, but somehow I suspect we’re not getting all the details.
To paraphrase the joke, just because he’s paranoid doesn’t mean they’re out to get him.
You know, I asked him what news story, and then I was thinking to myself, duh, like I do sometimes. So yes, I just got back from reading that.
Look kids are NOT supposed to get into cars with people they don’t know offering rides. Either they were disturbed over a vibe, or just disturbed due to training. If it was creepy behavior that led them to feel something was not right and they reported it, they did the right thing. If the person investigating got the feeling the person was not on the up and up maybe that’s why he was charged. However… it could be a case of prejudice over hair economic status, speaking ability, etc. In which case it’s sad, but people should be aware that countless kids go missing each year. Someone is taking them. It’s usually not carpool moms on their way home from or to a day of shopping, but lone men, or more than one.
Sorry but that’s the way the cookie crumbles. I also would tell kids not to trust younger women that are not alone, Women are involved in trafficking, in fact it’s common for at least one woman to be involved in trafficking orgs.
But what does THIS have to do with a possible FALSE accusation? Oh that’s right?
Nothing.
I wish these guys would learn that “woman” is singular and “women” is plural. It’s always a douchebag red flag for me, right up there with a dude who uses “females”
Oh my goodness, I didn’t know Samuel was the leader of an 800+ employee company!
here’s the story.
http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/03/16/man-who-offered-lift-to-teen-girls-says-hes-victim-of-good-deed-gone-wrong/
i was taught from an early age not to get in cars with strangers. A guy once stopped and offered me a lift when i was tottering home after a night out and had blown my last fiver on a pint rather than a taxi. i declined politely, he offered again, i pointed out that no matter what he knew his intentions to be, i couldn’t know them so therefore i couldn’t get in his car. he then drove off and i got home safely.
so how is this any different than when feminists (supposedly) claim that all men are rapists and women should be afraid? how come that is misandry but MRAs avoiding being alone with women is just common sense?
hypocritical fucks.
I have known a guy who had the ‘won’t drive alone with a woman’ rule. But he was a Church minister, so it was more about the appearance of doing right than him actually worrying he or any woman would try and do anything. It was more about avoiding any possible gossip. And even then, it wasn’t a completely hard and fast rule, just a case of if someone else can drive or someone else be there, they should.
(I’ve posted here once before, but mostly I’m a lurker, I read but don’t comment)
@BigMomma
Predictably there are MRAs in that comment section. Ugh…if an adult can’t see why it’s inappropriate to offer teenage girls he/she does not know a ride then there is no hope for them. As usual they’ll blame feminists and women…instead maybe they ought to blame the rapists, pedos and serial killers who do horrific things that cause us to not take rides from people we don’t know.
Not taking rides from men you don’t know…that’s misandry!!!
In other words, this person, if he exists, is so irrationally hateful towards women that he tries to keep them out of a number of professional spaces. Tell me again that there’s no sexism in business…
@Quackers
i was just typing a response to your comment along the exact same lines of how misandrous it was for them to not take the offered lift in the car.
ninja’d!
And like you say, and like the guy who offered me a lift and like Rebecca Watson speaking about that guy in the elevator, if you can’t see what you are doing is inappropriate, then maybe you should reflect for a little while on why women are so safety conscious.
also everything in that story makes sense until he gets charged? of course it will be due to the global feminazi control of rural police stations i am sure.
i was just typing a response to your comment along the exact same lines of how misandrous it was for them to not take the offered lift in the car.
Let’s just say, hypothetically, that these same two girls accepted a ride from a stranger, who then assaulted them. What you suppose the MRAs would say about that? I know I have a theory…
Oops. Modded.
In other news, my Canadian girlfriend’s dog ate my homework.
Paul Elam said he refuses to be alone or talk with a woman alone on one of his podcasts but I forgot which one, therefore I must be lying heh
Yep.
Sometimes the “but we just want equality” and the “but men really are superior” kinda hit head-on, don’t they?
All they want is equal treatment for the poor oppressed men… who are actually rich oppressors but only because they deserve it and women don’t.
