I couldn’t help but laugh when I
translated the upcoming comment into the terms of the discussion at
hand.

To wit: the discussion centers on the raised levels of awareness
(i.e., hypervigilance) that women are taught – and to which I could
provide examples if necessary. When a young tadpole by the name of
Ryan bursts on the scene with this brilliant question:

So tell me, if Im the “good guy”, and I
still get treated like Im any regular prick, then what is the
incentive to be a good guy.

More after the jump.

To truly understand the clueless nature of
this comment, we have to translate it into the terms of the
discussion.

So tell me, if Im the [guy who doesn't rape or assault
women], and I still get treated like Im [a stranger who may or may
not rape or assault women], then what is the incentive to [continue
my policy of not raping or assaulting women].

You see, Ryan just asked why he should not start raping and
assaulting women, since we’re going to be hypervigilant around him
out of trained wariness that men who rape and assault women don’t
wear labels and can’t be identified on the street.

Sounds to me like someone privileged enough to expect to be
rewarded for following the damn law. Someone who, as a kid,
probably had to be bribed into behaving.
