Taking a risk is not the same as being terrorized

Damn youā€™re thick.

You really donā€™t get the idea of the Schroedinger Rapist, do you?

I understand risk and security, sure. I carry a weapon everywhere I go because I understand it intimately.

I just object to the idea a person is ā€œbeing terrorizedā€ by that situation. As if all the people interacting with them are terrorists, because they are too confused about their relationship to their own fear and safety to carry a weapon.

I got terrorized by one person once, and now I keep that weapon on me at every moment Iā€™m not behind my own locked doors. I do not believe that I am being terrorized, simply because I live in a dangerous environment.

Words have meaning, and the meaning matters. A person who is anxious is not, thereby, being ā€œterrorizedā€.

ā€œSchrodingerā€™s rapistā€ indeed, as if the concept of a dangerous environment didnā€™t exist before the year 2010 when that term got coined by people who think theyā€™re the first to encounter the world.
