Dear Men: These Online DMs Come Off Wrong
I don’t want to get hurt again
I was always surprised when men would message me this online, so early in a conversation. It’s not like women who are out there hurting men know they’re doing it, or even if they do, well, they’re obviously mean then, and won’t stop just because someone says “Please don’t hurt me.” I mean, where does this message get anybody? Men, you just have to fend for yourselves, and learn how to identify the women who will or won’t hurt you.
