And whether a guy knows that he’s ‘nice’ and ‘harmless’ isn’t the point—others around him only see a stranger who may be dangerous.
“I’m physically stronger, I’m bigger. She was about five foot five. I’m six foot. Guys, we need to learn this. We are the threat”“Standing away from them in elevators, not going and sitting behind them or next to them on the train when there’s only us in the carriage with them. It’s crossing the road when you’re walking behind them, or you see a woman walking towards you down the street at night, cross the road, get out of their way, and demonstrate you are not a threat.
“I also see a resistance in some men to being prepared to listen to women and the truth of their stories. Some men telling women on the thread that they are wrong, when the women are telling them their lived experience. We need to start listening to and believing women’s stories.” Next, Poynter noted that men should be respectful. “Women are also afraid of what may happen if they say no, or turn a man down. There are horrific stories of women being verbally abused, hit, or worse for turning a man down. Women are allowed to say no! Be respectful!”
That might mean standing as far away from a woman in an elevator as possible. Or crossing the street at night so that you’re not scaring anyone. “Demonstrate you are not a threat,” Poynter urged. She pointed out that most young women blame themselves for being victims of harassment. They also hesitate to talk about what happened with their family because they’re scared that they’ll blame them, too.
