I didn't mean for this post to cause a bunch of arguing in the comments =(

I thought this was just some gallows humor (e.g. "Everything's lovely except that I have to fear for my safety all the time") type of shitpost that sounded similar to comments I've heard from women irl a lot.

Come to Finland, safe to walk at night

There’s not enough education about psychopaths and the dangerous subtypes like dark-triad psychopathy.

I only learned about it in my mid twenties.

If we taught about it there could be prevented a lot of harm.

If you don’t know about it chances are that you always ask yourself „how could someone do This?!“

Simply because they have characteristics that are so far away from your world of feelings and perception of social stuff that you are incapable of understanding it unless you get informed, at least this was my situation.

Wow these comments are a trash fire.

Almost like this is a submission specifically posted to elicit that exact response.

Oh no, a joke about the experiences of women. This must have been posted to spite me specifically

Your are a joke

What? I'm very well aware of the fears people, especially women, have at going out alone at night. It's completely reasonable to feel fear in situations like that.

What's your problem?

What exactly do you expect with a post like this?

Although statistically, it should be males being afraid to walk home at night.

Don’t criticize if you haven’t murdered yet.

Regurgitated bear meme is stale

If you see something like this and get angry at women, you have a problem.

At best it's a problem with reading comprehension. At worst, you're worried that things like this could get in the way of your murdering-women hobby.

My problem with this post is exactly the same I have with any broad assumptions over a poorly defined group: taken as fact, they're false.

Of course it's meant to make a point, and a very valid one. But I'll point out that there are many places in the world where a young woman can go out for a walk at night without fear of never being seen again, and it's not because there's fewer men, so perhaps we should focus on the conditions to achieve this?
