Last week I drove over an hour to meet someone that I'd been chatting with for 2 months. We had good chemistry and he seemed nice, kind of reserved and not as talkative as some, but sweet. Within 30 minutes of my getting there, he started talking about personas and what kinds of things we reveal online, and how he doesn't like to reveal everything about himself.

Nutshell, he's a raging conservative with opposite opinions to me on everything from abortion to systemic racism (like whether it exists), to the patriarchy, to sexual orientation and on and on and on. We've been friends on Facebook for at least 6 weeks, and he's seen everything I posted there, INCLUDING this week with the leaked Roe v. Wade opinion.

Now that some time has passed, I feel like I should be mad that this person intentionally lured me to his place. I never felt unsafe, but I don't think it would have been the same experience for a lot of women. I feel like I should be angry, but honestly I'm just so disappointed and unsurprised that this shit continues to happen. Like, why would you ever think that was okay? I feel like I'm just generally angry at men all the time, and I don't know how to not be. I don't know why they can't just DO BETTER.
