To Be A Coward

She knows in her heart of hearts that had she been in that subway car that day she would have felt profound relief when a strong young man took down the crazy.
I’ve seen the crazy. Everyone who rides (or in my case rode) the subway regularly eventually does. It’s pretty scary, because you ultimately don’t know what kind of weapon the guy has but you do know he’s not at all bound by civility, sanity, or even self preservation.

Progressive females painting themselves into a corner is a thing, too. The general advice is to trust their instincts in all things involving personal safety, but they really can't, if their instinct might be slightly tinged by what a stranger looks like. I recall the lady a couple years ago who held her apartment complex security door open for the scruffy looking black guy, then rode the elevator up with him, where he killed her.

So I looked up that story about the progressive white woman who opened the security door for the scruffy looking black guy. Found her name and googled it + “ Reddit”. Yep first discussion is about how women need to trust their instincts even if it makes them feel racist.

This story has always stuck with me because it’s such a striking example of a progressive female shaming herself to death.

I believe the story @Horace is talking about took place in Baltimore.
And come on, if AOC had been on that subway train with Neely and Penny, she totally would have “rewarded” Penny, and directly in front of her milquetoast boyfriend or fiancé.
