"The people who say they want to protect you from dangerous people are the most dangerous people"

Sometimes.

And sometimes they do genuinely want to protect you from dangerous people out of care or duty. If I go running with my wife at night, it's not because I want to control her, it's because I know women have been attacked on their own.

"We do not need saving"
Except when we do. There are plenty of instances where people have needed saving.

I get where she's coming from, but I think she's guilty of making too broad a generalisation.

Yes, be very wary of someone telling you they will protect you from the bad man. Use your brain. Think critically.

That doesn't mean there aren't bad men.

WTF?!?
"A crowdfunded poem"?!?!?
REALLY?!? People crowd fund POEMS?!? And awful poems about ignoring her gullibility and lack of self protection that paint any helpful person as an evil attacker? Huh?


OK, it's true that SOME people wishing to hurt you try to trick you by saying they want to help you somehow, but to say that anyone trying to help protect you is really trying to harm you is just paranoid to the extreme.

Most people who ask if you need/want help are simply trying to help.
If someone INSISTS on giving you 'help' that you didn't ask for or don't obviously need....beware.
If you're walking down the freeway with a can of gas and someone stops to offer a ride, that doesn't mean they're trying to kidnap you.

Ugh
