The comment suggesting that women must defend themselves with pepper spray because of violence against them escalates the conversation unnecessarily. While the issue of women’s safety is real and serious, framing every interaction as a potential threat encourages fear and distrust between genders. It dismisses the context of the original post, where the man was simply asking for a phone number, which, though possibly uncomfortable for the woman, didn’t seem to justify such an extreme reaction. Instead of fueling hostility, it’s essential to promote mutual respect and healthy boundaries in interactions between men and women.
