So Christian Cooper is a snack and a nerd and not at all intimidating which makes this whole story all the more egregious, but even if a person does physically fit your idea of "scary," you still don& #39;t get to call the cops on an innocent man who didn& #39;t do anything wrong. https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/1265351199835820032">https://twitter.com/chrissyte...

It is really important for women to trust their instincts and not talk themselves out of fear. But the thing you do when you& #39;re scared of someone is you run or you freeze (or, if they attack you, you might fight back). You don& #39;t threaten them and try to grab their phone.

Which is why Amy Cooper& #39;s "I was scared" line is such an obvious lie. Don& #39;t tell women when we should and shouldn& #39;t be scared; that gets women killed. But when white women weaponize our assumed vulnerability to bring the power of the state down on a black man, that& #39;s not fear.

That& #39;s straight-up aggression. It& #39;s not done with our fists, but it& #39;s absolutely an act of aggression and provocation, not self-defense. It& #39;s not about fear; it& #39;s about anger and entitlement. If Amy Cooper was afraid, she would have walked away.
