The Lie Women Are Tired of Hearing
I bet you’ve heard it before.
Not a member? Here’s the Friend Link
A young woman walks through a park to her car in broad daylight.
A random guy — a total stranger — shows up. Walks beside her.
Asks what she’s doing. If he can walk her to her car.
She laughs nervously and politely refuses.
He ignores her.
Then he asks for a hug and touches her.
When she freaks out, he says — “I won’t bite.”
I’ve heard that line more times than I can count.
Like so many women, I know what it’s like to laugh nervously while a man refuses to take no for an answer.
To feel fear bubbling beneath the surface, masked with forced politeness and a quickened pace.
This story isn’t unusual. It’s not even rare.
It’s draining. Demoralizing. And yes — scary.
“I won’t bite”?
Oh, I beg to differ.
He bites with entitlement.
With the weight of a culture steeped in incel logic and misogyny.
And it all comes down to ownership.
