This will be the consistent dilemma that feminists will face in their pursuit of gender neutrality.
This "article" fails the "standardized test" big time: Reverse the roles. Some batshit crazy lady follows some dude taking pics? He's just gonna tell her to fuck off and have a funny story for his friends.
Even though women are supposedly equal, they want special protection from random weirdos who aren't even breaking the law.
Exactly. This has nothing to do with her being a porno whore, except that it increases the likelihood that she is attention whoring. If a porno girl got assaulted, I wouldn't say, "she was asking for it." Of course, this girl wasn't assaulted.
Obviously, having some mental patient take pictures of you and follow you is alarming, but it happened during the day, at least three people came to her aid and it never escalated. What exactly does she want now?
You don't even have to reverse genders in your example. As a man, how many times in your life has some dude made aggressive moves towards you? Some dude at a bar might bump into you or stare you down hoping to start a fight. If you're walking through a sketchy neighborhood, there's guys sizing you up and seeing if you'd be an easy victim. They might ask you for the time to get you to expose your watch or pull out your phone. They might ask you to "borrow" a dollar. What can you do? Imagine going to the cops and telling them that some dudes down on the corner asked for the time in a threatening manner. What would the cops say to that?
