(63,221 posts)It has to be some extreme version of misogyny to do what some of these men are doing to women whom they have never met and who have never done anything to offend them.

(31,319 posts)for almost 3 years, I walked my dog in a regular route most mornings. One morning a woman got up from the outdoor cafe table and chair where she was seated, picked up the empty chair next to her, and threw it at us. I jumped out of the way, pulling on my dog's leash, but the chair just barely hit Snowy. We stood looking at each other and I told her not to do that as we started walking away. She picked up the chair she had been sitting in and started running towards us, then heaved it at us. We took off.
I called 911 once we were around the corner and I could go in an open coffee place. Someone else followed her and the police found and arrested her. One of the city cleaning crew gave me his name--who had witnessed it--and I gave it to the police. The next time I saw him he told me PD had contacted him. She was known to PD. Apparently a frequent flyer for being angry, aggressive, and off her meds.
We steered clear of her in the future if I saw her when out walking, but never saw her again in that particular spot.

(13,749 posts)That's stereotyping. It's not very relevant where he lived is it? Unless we want to think that homelessness leads to violence?
