It is certainly possible to meet women in a way that is unambiguously not creepy, and you could always aim for that if you have trouble with where the line is.


  > in a way that is unambiguously not creepy
Alas, no. When even simply looking (and I mean it, looking, not staring) can be classified as creepy you cannot be sure any more.


It's not, and that's a bullshit response.

No woman is saying "a man glanced at me and I felt harassed".

They're asking not to be groped, not to have kisses forced on them, not to be raped.

This "simply looking" comment is fucking garbage, and you need to readjust your perspective and attitudes.


Would you please stop breaking the HN guidelines like this? Someone else being wrong doesn't mean the rules don't apply to you.

Your comment would be much better, more powerful and convincing with just the second and third sentences.

You got it, Dan. Thanks for the heads-up.


Much appreciated!

Those are great comics. People should lament Snyder's retirement too, not just Watterson's.


The one I googled and googled and googled for but couldn't find, which was taped to my mom's refrigerator, was the disappointed bird standing in front of the open refrigerator, lamenting: "Dang, somebody ate the middle out of the daddy longlegs!"

You're the guy to call when something goes wrong. ;)
