I love actions like these. Not only do they show support for those who feel threatened, but they show people who think it's cool to bully others what real strength looks like. Doubt anyone will be calling these guys cucks anytime soon.

Wtf. The people doing that are the ones who make others feel unsafe and they know it. So when guys like this come out, they have to call them cucks?! So much rage

[–]amodernbird 133ポイント134ポイント  (10子コメント)

Those that are throwing that word around are just insecure. These guys are doing good and probably pretty happy with their lots in life. I see no cucks, just good guys trying to help others.

[–]WestCoastBestCoast01 69ポイント70ポイント  (5子コメント)

Yep. When their only response is to name-call about being an emasculated guy it is CLEAR projection of insecurity. Like so clear we can see right through our computer screens, through their skulls, and into their insecure little brains.

Not even necessarily just women though. That's the baffling part. There's nothing in the picture indicating they wouldn't help anyone of any demographic. It's literally just "if you feel unsafe, we'll help you", and somehow that's controversial.

My point was more the irony that they're describing the men as if they are unappealing to women, when they are actually the model of attractiveness - both physically and emotionally

We're wired to feel pleasure helping people, it's a survival trait. Nothing wrong with that. Hell game theory alone says helping people is the best way to survive & reproduce as if the actual survival of the species isn't proof enough for some people.

[–]GoodCatWarriorNameActually 3 cats in a trenchcoat 24ポイント25ポイント  (26子コメント)

There were a lot of people strongly implying and/or outright stating that this isn't needed and the guys are just doing it for attention.

And there probably aren't massive swaths of people needing support like this. But if there's even one person helped by this, isn't that enough? And moreover, even if no one needs it, doesn't the fact that it's there send a message about what sort of community is being created at that school, that they're willing to help and support each other?

There's literally no downside to doing something like this, so pointing out that most students at most colleges won't be harassed just seems like tacit derailing.

[–]hopeless1der 4ポイント5ポイント  (9子コメント)

        That whole discussion thread made me so mad. I think the majority of the thread was people just upvoting what they wanted to hear- people saying it's an over reaction had hundreds of upvotes while the users citing their experiences being victims on campuses had less than 100. Even worse was all the people saying "you just feel unsafe, you're not actually unsafe". Yo, how bout you just shut the fuck up and quit telling me college campuses are some safe haven where violence and sexual crimes don't happen. I'm not just some little girl afraid of the dark. You know what makes me feel unsafe? Being catcalled. Being followed home. Being followed to the parking lot. Every report of sexual assault and rape on and around. Just because it happened at the bar across the street doesn't mean I'm safe on campus. UGH.

        [–]MaisNahMaisNah 239ポイント240ポイント  (38子コメント)

        Even worse was all the people saying "you just feel unsafe, you're not actually unsafe".

        Let's pretend that's actually true. Then what the fuck is the issue with people making the effort to help other people feel more safe? What does anyone lose by having people feel a little more secure and to be a deterrent to the supposedly 1 in a billion chance something bad would happen? Why is genuine kindness and understanding something worth mocking? Probably because it's such an unfamiliar concept to so many of these dickhole.

        [–]Voroxpete 59ポイント60ポイント  (5子コメント)

        This is one of my favourite things about Bikers Against Child Abuse. They will actually ride out to a kids house and stand guard around the clock just to make them feel safe, even if the person they're scared of is in prison three states away. If that fear is enough that the kid can't sleep without having nightmares, and if having a couple of giant tattooed guys guarding their door will put that fear to rest, these people will do it without hesitation. They understand that the feeling of safety is just important as actually being safe. It's why they always induct every child into the gang, with full patches and a name and everything. It's not just about stopping bad people from hurting innocent kids, it's about giving back the emotional strength that those children have had stripped from them. It's about making them feel unstoppable, like they can do anything they want without being afraid.

        BACA is such a light in a dark place. After this election and hearing about the violence against minority's already, I think it's so important to remind myself that there are good people out there. Still putting up the good fight.

        [–]Voroxpete 15ポイント16ポイント  (0子コメント)

        Everything I've ever learned about BACA is just awesome.

        I read this one story where a little boy and his family had to travel to the next state over so the boy could testify against his father. Kids very rarely testify in abuse cases, because they're too scared to do it. So BACA round up a dozen guys and girls to give this family a personal motorcade. They stand guard around the motel that night, and in the morning they escort the family to the court house, and sit with them throughout the day. When the kid gets up to testify, the judge asks why he never said anything before. He tells the judge he was too scared.

        So the judge says "Why aren't you scared now?"

        And the kid looks at the front row of the courtroom where this gang of scarred, tattooed, longhairs in leather jackets and ripped jeans are sat watching, looks at the judge and says "Because my friends are scarier than he is."

        I find great irony in the fact that conservatives have been calling liberals overly sensitive and easily offended for years, but now there are droves of them arguing that they're so fucking sensitive that their presidential vote was swayed by people being mean to them.

        [–]mludd 28ポイント29ポイント  (4子コメント)

        I think the whole "not actually unsafe" thing is them latching on to the statistics that show that men are more likely to be the victims of violent crimes perpetrated by strangers.

        But IMHO that's just a big "so what?" If anything that just means there are a lot of people out there who probably should feel less safe than they do, not that those who are statistically speaking somewhat less likely to be the victims of violence are somehow wrong in being worried about their safety.

        And it's not like these guys are specifically targeting women with their sign, I'm sure they'd have no problem walking with some guy who is worried about getting attacked as well.

        [–]GoodCatWarriorNameActually 3 cats in a trenchcoat 16ポイント17ポイント  (0子コメント)

        In one of the threads there were some people arguing that Trump supporters have been attacked more than Hillary supporters, and implying that it meant that this wasn't needed. Even if that is true, it's not like the sign says "Hillary supporters only". Anyone getting attacked is a sign that this is needed.

        I think they were referencing the 'men are more likely victims of assault' stat. Men generally feel safer than / don't worry as much as they should do given the statistics on victims of assault by strangers.

        [–]OctopodicPlatypi 14ポイント15ポイント  (18子コメント)

        The only reason I can conceive of is because they would prefer their victims incautious and unprotected

        [–]Funkernaut 55ポイント56ポイント  (7子コメント)

        FFS, my university had a serial sexual assaulter a few years ago. He would attack women walking to dorms or classes in the dark. We actually had people volunteer to do what these guys are doing and had to hire more security. I had a night class that got out around 9pm and my aunt drove half an hour to pick me up so I didn't have to walk across campus to the bus stop in the dark. Just because it's a university doesn't mean it's safe from sexual predators or bigots.

        It's almost as if the people saying these things have never had to actually be afraid of the things these guys are trying to protect people from. Imagine that.

        Just wanted to add that I guarantee you people would say "yeah, but you guys had a reason to do those things when there was a definite sexual predator actively attacking women."

        Yeah? And what about the first woman he attacked? Would she have had a reason in their eyes since know one knew he was out there? He was always there, he just hadn't done anything yet. If that first victim had felt afraid and asked people like these guys to help her, those same people calling those guys cucks and telling people to quit being so sensitive would have made fun of her. If walking with these guys at night prevented the attack, no one would have ever known and she would have seemed silly to some assholes out there. Yet, I bet when she got attacked, the same assholes would start questioning her on why she was walking alone at night and doing the same victim-blaming bullshit.

        You can't win with some people out there. And that's because it's more important to them to try and make everything about themselves rather than either help or shut the fuck up if it doesn't have anything to do with them.

        our university had a rapist/groper. he would attack when you were getting into your car in the dark parking lot. University got more security guards that would walk with you after sunset. they caught the rapist a month later, when the security guard walking a girl to her dorm tried to rape her....

        [–]Funkernaut 19ポイント20ポイント  (2子コメント)

        Crazy. I think that was actually an issue people were worried about when we had the security guards and volunteers to walk people (or drive them in golf carts, I think, can't remember). They were worried the people who were supposed to be helping would take advantage if they were also a predator. I can't remember for sure but I think there was an option to have multiple people instead of just one.

        The problem is that there's not many completely safe options without having to go totally gung-ho. If people would just stop assaulting and raping people I guess we wouldn't have to take all these precautions. Again, though, the people who bitch and moan about people wanting to take safety precautions are the same people who bitch and moan about the whole "teaching people not to rape" angle. It is worse to them to have other people doing what they choose with their spare time to help others in ways they don't like than it is for someone to be assaulted. Some people are just really, really stupid.

        if my story came off as "this doesn't help" i didn't mean it to. more like, this shit happens even if we try to mitigate it, it still happens. maybe him being a guard actually helped catch him, because now he wasn't a faceless attacker but had a name and an easily identifiable uniform.

        it drives me bananas that the same people who get upset over the 'don't rape' message feel they have the right to tell women how to behave. don't go here, don't go at night, don't wear this and that, don't go alone, etc. what's next? stop existing?

        I remember when I was visiting universities getting ready to pick one, one of them had a program where the security guards/volunteers who walked you places after dark went in pairs, so after they dropped you off wherever, they wouldn't be left to walk around alone after dark either.

        Yes! I had some asshole tell me he knew what it's like to be a woman because he has woman friends. That is when I realized this dude was a lost cause. My university is well known in my state for being very liberal and accepting of everyone, in a town that has the same reputation, and two guys pinned a woman against her car, grabbed her crotch, and said "now that Trump is president we can do whatever we want to f**s like you." Plus more cases of blatant racism. A dude walked up to my Asian American friend in the library at 12pm and started saying super racist stuff/talking about Trump. Like fuck everyone who says I shouldn't feel unsafe as a woman right now. Now I carry pepper spray.

You can listen and sympathize as much as you want but that's not the same as truly understanding. That's why you just have to trust people when they say they feel unsafe.

        I was once told not to talk about "campus sexual assault" because it "made me sound like a feminist". Like first of all I AM a feminist. Fight me. For two, sexual assault is a serious problem on and near college campuses. Not a single person I knew on campus didn't know or know someone who knew a girl who had been slipped something at one of the off campus bars. A few years ago, a girl was running in broad daylight around a popular path on campus and was raped by a frat boy while like 5 of his bros watched. This fucker STUDIED her path for days and picked the best place to ambush her. The same year, conflicting reports were produced by the university, one stating there had only been 3 cases of reported sexual assault in 5 years. The other said there had been 5 in 2 years. The year before, a frat chapter had been suspended (until every current member graduated) for repeated cases of sexual assault and other forms of sexual violence.

        I wish more campuses had what mine did when I was an ungrad - basically a volunteer run service by the student federation that would send volunteers to walk a student home if they needed it.

        All those reactions saying its overstated are so fucking stupid. Not just amoral and sociopathic, but plain old dumb. It doesn't have to be 100% likely for people to feel threatened about it. Holy shit, it's the same reason people wear seat belts, to protect themselves from the one time it might happen. But then again, those morons would have to accept rape culture is a thing, not just an "sjw new-fangled fancy newspeek term". God, how the fuck can so many people be so fucking illogical and callous. Like seriously, you live in a time where you can hear all these opinions and stories about somebody's experience, and get to witness so many examples of a trend, one of which even gets elected , and you still fucking choose to wave it off as nothing more than 'anecdotal evidence'. I mean, i know the reasons, but it's like trying to understand a person that has no concept of future or past, only on a less abstract level.

        You're right that you aren't really safe on campus, but students are actually far safer than non-students.

        Across all types of violent crime, female students had a lower victimization rate than nonstudents (table 2). For the period 1995–2013, the rate of violent victimization was 1.6 times higher for nonstudents (73.1 per 1,000) than students (46.3 per 1,000). For both students and nonstudents, the rate of rape and sexual assault was lower than the rate of aggravated and simple assault, but higher than the rate of robbery

        You're 60% more likely to be a victim of a violent crime if you are a non-student, 70% more likely to be robbed, and 70% more likely to be assaulted. The bad news its that campuses aren't much safer as far as sexual assaults and rapes go, as you're only 20% more likely to be raped/sexually assaulted if you're a non-student.

        These guys are doing a good thing, but let's recognize that college campuses aren't more dangerous than the outside world. People like these guys, and campus security, work very hard to keep students and faculty as safe as possible.

        I'm not saying your wrong, but college campuses generally discourage rape and assaults from being reported. They prefer to handle them internally, so they wouldn't be reported in crime statics. That's why you have students filing title IX's against the campuses as of late.

        [–]greatballsofmeow 15ポイント16ポイント  (2子コメント)

        That's really interesting to hear, thanks for providing those statistics (I hope that didn't sound sarcastic because I'm serious). I can only speak for my experience, but I did genuinely feel more unsafe on my campus and campus police didn't do much to help ease that. In fact most of them seemed to be that bully turned mall cop that enjoyed harassing students because they were in a position of power. I went to school in a small town, so maybe that had something to with it? It was definitely a "we don't lock our doors" sort of place.

        I went to a school in a not-small city and my experience was the same as yours unfortunately (except instead of mall cop-type, it was more like fake security guard, couldn't care less).

        I've never felt a college campus is more unsafe than the general area, but comments acting like it's some kind of safe haven are objectively false. Just because I'm a little more safe there doesn't mean I should feel totally safe. Especially if there's been incidents while attending that I'm aware of.

        Anecdote: When I was still in college a woman was raped on campus. She was walking past a particularly not-well-lit area at night and someone jumped her.

        My university, despite being a prestigious one, is notorious for having sexual assaults on campus. We have "blue phones" you can call for an escort service if you feel unsafe. Seeing these guys offer their time to make people feel safe is really heartwarming, especially when it's all too often that people who feel unsafe are criticised for "overreacting" about their situation. Like no, if I feel unsafe I will absolutely make sure that I feel safe by calling a security service (or one of these fine gentlemen), to escort me.

          I've lived in CT my whole life. We're a historical white state with hefty pockets of rich people, and what's in between is surprisingly rural. Racism here isn't even a little surprising to me. My town is currently freaking the fuck out about a PRIVATE committee that's trying to get a Syrian family to live here. At a committee meeting (like a month ago, before anyone was even too worked up about the election) almost half the people in attendance were there to protest. They literally argued that the town should vote on whether or not we "let" them live here. Our first selectman shut that shit down quick though; he said that we've never voted to allow people to move into our town, and we weren't about to start now, regardless of their nationalities, skin color, or religion. I was literally shocked that our county went blue in the presidential election. Our town facebook page and the number of trump signs had me convinced otherwise.

          It's the belief of if it's not happening to you, then it's not happening to anyone.

          Seriously. Only straight, white, cis men who are lucky (because I'm sure it happens to some men of that demographic) don't believe that harassment and discrimination are an issue.

          It's gross how little empathy some have towards issues they don't face. I'm white and I can acknowledge and appreciate that POC face discrimination I will never know, just as, as a cisgendered woman, I understand that people who are trans* deal with an altogether different breed of hate.

          I'm lucky to have been born white, cis, feminine-presenting, and able-bodied, and I can't understand how some people are so blind to the issues facing others without their privileges.

          And they do themselves a disservice because men are raped. Only it's never talked about because of homophobia. Or if it's by a woman (like a teacher/student thing) it's looked at positively when the student may feel victimized and ashamed.

            My school (University of New Brunswick) has a "SafeWalk" program that employs students (uniformed - red jackets, reflective vest, radios) to walk people around campus at night if they want the escort. They maintain people in the lobbies of the main libraries and student union building, or they will come to your location if you call their hotline. Cool program, but I'm not sure how much use it gets.

            [–]seemedlikeagoodplan 19ポイント20ポイント  (1子コメント)

            Both universities I've attended have had similar programs. Radios patched in to campus security, red jackets, flashlights, etc. With one program though, every team of two volunteers had to have at least one woman. Two guys couldn't do this together.

            I was a volunteer for a couple years, and a dispatcher one year. There wasn't a whole ton of use, you'd get maybe 2 calls an evening. More if there were events going on at the campus that night.

            Berkeley also has a "BearWalk" program, and my friends used to use it all the time. With the libraries open 24-7 during finals, and tons of crazy people out (like any big city), it was a great service to have. And it isn't just about "crazy SJWs making a big deal out of everything." Shit happens. For all the talk on the main Reddit subs about carrying guns "for protection" and whatnot, it seems like a crazy disconnect to denounce these guys. If you live in a big city, then you know someone who was mugged at some point. And you know people who have stumbled into groups of belligerent, pushy drunks. It just seems logical (and awesome) to have this kind of service.

            [–]sifhappens 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

              My university has a walkhome service that employs I think over 100 students and will accompany a student with a male and female walkhome student..I think they ran until 3-4am.

              That Glass Cloud tank makes me even feel extra safe. Hot and a good music taste, count me in for a walk!

              I'll take the set please.

              Also, I don't know if anyone watches Shameless. But Kev as the Rape-Walker was the first thing that sprang to mind when I saw this. That tickled me.

              Disclaimer: For those who haven't seen Shameless. The Rape-Walker thing was about Kev walking drunk girls home, to be clear. Not about him raping or anything. I'd never joke about that.

              My school has a school-organized safe walk, with volunteers that will walk home with you if you feel unsafe

              Wow. This is really cool. I wonder are there programs like this at some colleges? It would be a fun volunteer effort. And get to meet hopefully cool people.

              It slightly reminds me of an Uber like service. Take the person to their destination. Except for free ☺️

              I definitely would have joined this if it were around when I was in college. I hope this becomes a trend!

              I saw the title of the sign and got afraid it would be one of those 'suck it up' signs. I'm very pleasantly surprised. :)

              College me would have sure been happy to be walked around by guys this hot. :D

              Seriously though, they actually look kind of like a couple of the guys in my lifting class, one of whom did walk me back to my dorm on a day when I had an asthma attack and was feeling ill.
