    The person feels uncomfortable or threatened.

    Who does? The person in this hypothetical situation that you’re making up? Sure, you can make up a hypothetical situation about a person feeling uncomfortable. Just as easily as I can make up a hypothetical situation about someone feeling comfortable? See how much good that’s worth? What’s ridiculous is how you’re trying to cast moral judgements on me for this hypothetical situation that’s the product of your own imagination.

    If you make someone feel that way, requiring a specific performance from them is pretty entitled.

    It’s not “entitled” to require someone to communicate how they feel about something in order for you to understand how they feel about it. In fact, it’s entitled to expect someone to know how you feel without having to communicate that to them. Mind reading is not possible, and if you seriously want to rely on that for women’s safety and to make moral judgements about people based on their inability to read minds, then you seriously need therapy.

    If someone tells you that you’re making them uncomfortable, then you need to leave them alone. If they don’t tell you that, however, then you can’t just assume that they do feel that way. How fucking psychologically damaged does a person have to be to go around with the default assumption that everyone they talk to is being made uncomfortable by them? It would be impossible to function as a well-adjusted member of society on that premise.

    And the fact that you don’t see that is wild.

      What, are you entitled to that response? No? Then you are not entitled. If you are still demanding it, you are “entitled”

        It’s not “demanding” anything. It’s predicated on the simple fact that nobody is a mindreader. How many times do I have to restate that?

        You’re the one making demands that people should be reading minds, so if anyone has an entitled outlook here it’s you.

          sometimes you will be wrong

          If you think this means you need to be a mind reader, you need a lesson for graceful failure.

            Huh? I thought you blocked me. Why are you still responding? In fact, don’t talk to me. There, I made my boundary clear. So if you really mean what you say about not being entitled to talk to people, then you’ll respect that boundary by leaving me alone.

            By the way, what you were insisting, would require mind reading, and cherry-picking small snippets devoid of context to say they don’t require mind-reading doesn’t change that.
