If I don't wear a burqa on Twitter, I bear some responsibility for a stranger stalking me? There's no "right way to ask that question", because it is a stupid question. https://twitter.com/EdSzumowski/status/1253135449155125251
Not a single suggestion I made has anything to do with how a person dresses, what they look like, makeup they wear, etc. All of the reasonable precautions I suggested were based on *limiting location-identifying information/photos* published online. There is an obvious difference
And not that it matters, but the irony is not lost on me that I am wearing a hoodie up to my chin in my profile picture & *still* get asked that.
I also do not agree with anonymous twitter accounts, I do not think someone can ethically make as many criticisms/commentaries of people as I do, without the accountability of showing my face. I also can't be anonymous on Twitter due to my job, which I need it for.
I don't mean to be rude, sorry. I was too harsh in the first tweet. 99.9% of people are good, well adjusted, & understand that someone posting a photo of themselves online doesn't mean your fantasy of marrying them in your head is real.
The "limit location identifying info online" precautions are to minimize chances of the "unreasonable" 0.01% of psychos finding you. They were always unreasonable,& would be regardless of what you do. Precautions arent to make psychos less psycho. Its to limit ability to find you
