"How much discomfort, fear, or risk of harm is acceptable to ask of a stranger? "

Thing is- why is it that the female strangers have to do this for the male strangers, but the male strangers wouldn’t do it for the female strangers? Women can just as easily ask TW to "dismantle or simply put aside their discomfort, fear for safety, and needs for privacy, in order to accommodate females who wish to maintain/reinstate spaces that had previously been for women only." But they clearly won’t… so…

My answer to the question is: none. Strangers don’t owe each other shit.

"Is it reasonable to request or expect another person to ignore their own perceptions or to hide and lie about their perceptions?"

No. It’s narcissistic and any one who doesn’t understand how ridiculous this request is is a walking breathing red flag of a human being.

There are emergency situations where I could understand a stranger intervening (or a stranger expecting another to intervene on their behalf)- but they aren’t obligated to intervene (unless it’s literally their job- and even then, there are circumstances when even a professional would be advised not to intervene.)

Reliance on female socialisation? Women are accommodating/nurturing/emotionally savvy, they like protecting vulnerable little critters.

Women asking for or demanding respect, privacy, and accommodation from others are mouthy, pushy, bitchy, bossy, bad women archetypes.

Imo it’s all reliant on punishing women who don’t put on an exaggerated show of being ~nice~ (read obedient) to the men who have cast themselves as victims in their little show.

Absolutely agree about the narcissistic tendencies required to demand the general public cater to them whilst refusing to give an inch to the public.
