1. WTF?

I am so sick of seeing these random attacks against women by men. Women who are just walking down the street, minding their own business, not provoking anybody and suddenly these agigressive, asshole men attack them out of nowhere.

What is this? Why are all these cowardly, weak men going after people who are weaker than they are and who can't fight back? it's so pathetic and craven. They NEVER attack men or anyone bigger than they are. Do they think this makes them look tough?

It's so disgusting! What is wrong with men like this and why do they hate women so much?

6. Men

Men get attacked as well. Both young and old.

8. Really? I'm not seeing that so much.

Stop with the "Men get it too". My post was not about men and you would have to be blind not to see that this is a problem that increasingly affecting women and the elderly.

12. No

I won't stop. You posted in capital letters that men "never" get attacked and that simply isn't true. I strongly urge you to review the news.

Here's just one report on it:

2. This is what worries me

Like the more my body takes shape and changes into more feminine features I'm going to have to start carrying protection with me besides a knife.

I hope she was okay and I hope they get this scumbag

5. They should be able to get him-there is a very clear security video of him.

10. I've been a female all my life, and I've never carried a weapon of any kind.

Just be aware of where you are and steer clear of iffy areas.

13. Right

Just feel like I have to due to the transgender part as well. So much hate for us

11. I always carry pepper spray for both animal attacks and people.

It’s mostly for animals, tbh, though. Like Treefrog said, just avoid areas that are sketchy af and you’ll be fine.

3. He might be some religious freak...

... or some other kind of patriarchy-indoctrinated individual who wanted to 'punish' her for not dressing modestly enough.

Not that her attire was very revealing at all for the majority of people, or that such an assault is ever appropriate regardless of how someone dresses.

4. They know they can get away with it

that's why they do it and IMO things are only going to get worse. I just heard on the local news that right here in the suburbs that same thing happened a woman.
