      But does that rule apply to you, as a man? I think society is less accepting of "Take responsibility for your own perception of me as intimidating?" when said by a man. In reality, an assessment of feedback of the effect you have on others is probably needed in almost every casehttps://twitter.com/solo1y/status/1055382243638759424 …

      It took me a long time to figure this out. I am not responsible for how other people react to the things I say and do (assuming I'm not actually physically interfering with people). https://twitter.com/AyannaC_/status/1054090285540614150 …

      I am occasionally told I am intimidating but this has never been that I am seen as a physical threat. Usually it means I am disagreeing with something too fast, too scathingly and with the use of too many words. (I can get a bit passionate.)

      I could tell others that they are responsible for their perception of me in this way or I could consider whether I am communicating as effectively as I could be. Sometimes I realise I am doing this & step back from it in process with something like this:pic.twitter.com/4kpOgBmIJr

      Obv, it's not always my fault and some people will have a problem with me simply for disagreeing with them. I think there's nearly always a mixture of intention and impact to consider and a person on one side of this could be being much more reasonable than the one on the other

      I'm almost certainly reading far too much into the first speaker's comment, btw, which could have been a throwaway one or have a specific context & not be the result of an indepth consideration of the correct ethical position to take on the intention vs impact debate.

          You may agree with this already, still waking up, but I understand the guys comment - I'm 6.5 ft tall, and not a small guy, and a Marine on top of that so I understand that all adds up to what can be a very intimidating person. I take that into consideration and work to ...

          try and reduce that intimidation, because it seems like the polite thing to do. However - There are many who will take advantage of that in trying to manipulate you, which the feminist movement has been doing towards men for a long time, and as a result, it seems to me ....

          that men are starting to learn that at some point, we have to realize that at least to some degree, we're not responsible for how others are taking us. You can only put forth so much effort before it becomes pandering, and people are sick of pandering I think.
