something about this way of thinking is triggering me. I am saying this cause I want to be clear that a lot of my response is 'me-based' and you're not necessarily doing anything wrong, but I might say lots of strongly worded things out of a long-growing anger

cause yes like consciously these are important things to consider and i even address these first when people wanna do sex work but there's something about the weight being given to the possible consequences here that is really getting me beefed up

it's been a long-standing sense I've had of this community that people are waaaay more risk averse than i think is ... virtuous? i don't usually think in virtuous terms but that seems to be the best frame for this. like there's no discussion about tradeoffs or life vitality

and also this is not just really about you. over the past year or two i've seen instances of something that reminds me of this mentality in the rationalist community in ways that really horrify me in some primal way and so this is just pushing me over the edge

i feel like if this community were a tribe in the planes and we got overrun by enemies, i would be raped and kidnapped while everyone was standing around debating the risk factors and sterilizing their groceries after 72 hours

also again TO CLARIFY i do not mean to imply you should take risks you find to be bad, like i'm not trying to shame you into risking your job or personal life. i think the thing that triggers me is like... the way it's being talked about, not the actual decisions.

if it makes you feel any better I have successfully and physically driven away people trying to assault women I had never met on two (2) separate occasions this is just not that kind of fight

It's a gestalt; she's disgusted by the cowardice she's surrounded by in general and the virus precautions are just the straw that broke the camel's back bringing it all into focus

Not just the virus actually; the virus and the reaction to an attack on the community. Obviously a woman is going to find such a weak and fearful response to an outside attack distressing.
