I don’t care what you hear.
Man, she really is the worst.
Evidently you’re not familiar with this person’s history of racism and lying.
Over the years, I’ve had Intimate relationships with women who wore wedding rings when we met. One was in the process of divorce, one just liked jewelry, one was married, but wild. Maybe I’m not all that observant, but in each situation the ring wasn’t something I noticed until later.
Hitler?
So now black men are “rapists and harassers”? You’re just a lying racist. No one buys this racist bullshit from you.
Black men that persist in hitting on a woman that has told them she does not want a sexual relationship with them are harassers and potential rapists. As are white men, Hispanic men, Jewish men, Arab men, etc., who behave that way.
Maybe they saw you as a potential slut.
So- you wore a wedding ring, but how else did you make it clear that it was insulting to chat you you?
I always introduced myself as Mrs. John (or another masculine name) Zealot and conducted myself as such. if anything mildly flirtatious was said or attempted, I reminded them quite icily that I was married and faithful to my husband. Most men (even the most severe Asperger’s cases) can read those signals as “Leave me alone.” Anyone that can’t deserves as nasty a response as possible. Honestly, I think it should be legal to serious injury a man that ignores those signals.
In their culture, only whores allow someone to sit next to them. We have much to learn from them.

I never consider that a maybe which is why I didn’t feel bad about using the most hurtful insult I knew of in responding to them.

Hitting on someone is more than sitting next to them. Though if a woman gets up and moves to avoid sitting next to man, the man is an asshole if he follows her.

If they didn’t notice the ring, I pointed it out to them, along with presenting myself as a married woman.
This part of the thread, about the prejudice against those with itinerant lifestyles, has me going hmmmm. Over the past couple of years I’ve become more aware of, well, call it ‘The Van Life Movement.’ Basically people who have given up having the usual house/condo/apartment living situation with a more or less fixed in place job for living in converted cargo vans or school buses or the like, and depending on jobs that can be done over the internet (such as writers or programming) or picking up short-term jobs purely to get an infusion of cash or, apparently, supporting themselves by making videos for YouTube about their lifestyle.
The thing is, I’m seeing more and more emphasis on “Stealth” van life. How to convert your vehicle in ways so it isn’t obvious to passersby that someone is in fact living in there. Which suggests to me that there is a growing pushback against those who are vanning.
And I can see why some the permanent residents of an area might be less than thrilled to have camper-vanned people living in their neighborhoods. Increased noise, competition for parking space, basic fear of anyone living a ‘not normal’ lifestyle.
And in truth, in a lot of ways, these vanners are parasites on the area they choose to park in. For roads and parking lots built and maintained by the taxes of the permanent residents, if nothing else.
A few of the vanners mention parking in intended camps, using water and sewer services that they pay for by the day/week/whatever, but most simply park where ever, and depends on the use of the use of water supplies maintained by businesses or the public, like bathrooms in stores or libraries or whatever to fill water jugs and empty, uh, holding containers.
Even more troublesome, I’ve watched at least a handful of van conversion how-to videos that teach how to build drain lines so you can simply allow your ‘gray’ water to pour out of your wheel well onto the street/parking lot you happen to be on. Or how to sneak off beside the road and simply dump your portable toilets wherever you can find cover while doing so.
Like a ton of other things, it’s easy enough not to be aware of something, or see the impact, when it’s just a single person doing something. But if growing numbers do? And start to congregate in groups, maybe for safety in numbers?
It’s totally believable to me that animosity and prejudice could develop. Some day ‘Vanner’ might become a slur, and eventually the “V-word.”
I’ve earlier advocated for the “Goddamn, you suck” standard for banning people, based on behavior in the pit that’s way beyond what’s acceptable. This is a pretty good example of “Goddamn, you suck.” What, beyond morbid humor, does ZPG bring to the board?
If a Romani man had behaved that way to you, would you have called him a gypsy or a pikey to make him desist? Your logic says it would be an appropriate response.

If a Romani man had behaved that way to me, I would have struck him. He would probably have gotten at least a token beating (black eye or so) from some of my male relatives and he would be shunned by the community.
Why not use those vile slurs against them? Why only against black men?
Okay, let me rephrase it: if a Romani man behaved that way to a gadjo woman, is she justified in using antiziganist slurs against him?

Of course, men should not harass women period.

Well, nigger is only really a vile slur against black men. Against offensive men of others races and ethnic group it wouldn’t be as effective. I would use something specific to their race and ethnic group if I thought it would be the most effective. My Jewish grandmother taught me some very filthy Yiddish to use in such situations.
