This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If you’re a big guy and you find yourself walking behind a woman at 2am AND, unlike anon, you‘re not a complete sociopath, you have two options in a nutshell. One, you move your ass and overtake, walking fast. Two, you change the side of the road. Both minor inconveniences.

just not changing pace is good enough in my opinion, that makes it look like he was actually chasing her

if he takes the same road and she is scared it's more of a she problem since he's just going home

imo the solution is just not to do anything sketchy, and teach younger people what's right and wrong, so that the problem can get solved with a better society in the future

Ah yes, why didn't my parents or their grandparents think to teach their kids that rape and murder is wrong!? It's all so clear now!!!

If the current state of America is any indication, plenty of people didn't teach their kids that

I think some people do fucked up shit regardless of what they're taught and it requires a solution that's slightly more complex than "just teach the kids right and wrong".

Whilst I strongly encourage good parenting, you could have the most fucked up parents imaginable and still easily be able to understand why rape and murder isn't a benefit to society.

Doesn't have to be women, I've accidentally startled dudes as well. Being a pretty broad and tall dude I usually only keep my size in mind to keep out of the way or make sure I don't bump into things or hit my head on stuff.

But when I think about it, of course it would be intimidating to run across someone a foot and a half taller and twice your weight. It would be like me being tailed by Shaq in the middle of the night.
