    I just dont date men, don’t smile around men unless it’s mean or im wearing a mask, don’t compliment men even on innocuous things unless they’re like half my age or younger, and yeah, i think about exits a lot.

    This is a superior solution, because it actially works and does not make me a target for that garbage gender’s bullshit.

        Nope. It’s how i deal.

        If i compliment a man, it won’t stop hitting on me until i get violent or gross.

        If a man sees me smile it might decide that was flirting, so i only smile in cases where it’s very very clearly not.

        And i absolutely don’t date them; im not cursed to have no other option sexually, so why the fuck would i defile myself with that one?

        The exits thing is mixed with other stuff, various ptsd sources, but i expect I’d have put it together just existing around so many monsters like that.
