Confidence be damned, you sound like somebody who seriously needs to reevaluate themselves.
I'm a girl and I'm pretty damned sure, if you tried this crap with me, i'd have you arrested.
All of your posts, it seems clear what you're all about.
I’m no white knight far from it. Who asked you to make such a big deal out of it? ..and that sort of line of reasoning
It is very easy to join the lynch mob.
A rapist doesn't dress in such a blatant way. Statically most rapists are people you know, and they generally use fear, guilt and their credibility not masks.
Don't be so sure of yourself, you need grounds to arrest someone. Sure there are bouts of vigilantism on this issue. Mobs have done stuff like thrown bricks through a paediatrician’s window I kid you not.
Some places may be backwards enough to arrest people for what they wear. It is not so simple though; they have had enough trouble banning 'hoodies' from shopping centres. Best they can do is give them a warning or move them off private property. If they are not actually breaking any laws, you can’t arrest someone for having their hood up.
Besides he didn't say he was going to go around intimidating people deliberately.
Maybe you need to re-evaluate too. Why so many people have got their knickers in a twist over this is beyond me, and they are the people telling everyone else to get a life.
You are a girl, great. It is always good to get the female perspective, I value it always. I probably get on with girls more than boys (but not all girls) However, everyone is different. As bad as this idea is I don't think many would stoop so far to call the police, just for someone asking them out in a mask. Sure some might be scared. You sound like you just get a kick out of it, like by acknowledging someone different you are somehow lowering yourself so you need to stamp your disapproval. Is it really such an insult? Who cares if it is insincere, it doesn't have to affect you if you don't want it too. Don’t throw the toys out the pram over something like this.
The other point is human behaviour is totally bizarre, and often quite contrary to how people actually think they behave. Ask an animal behaviourist. Humans often put themselves in risky situations with other people, yet their idea of safe is not logical. They will also be attracted to people that logically are more likely to put them in danger, as opposed to people the freak them out. We are animals after all, we can’t help it. Our “mind’s eye” and opinions are just that.
