The rise of fear-based social media like Nextdoor, Citizen, and Amazon Neighbors

I don't particularly want someone who has already proven themselves to be rude and inconsiderate to know my name, face and address. The kind of people who don't care about how their actions impact other people are precisely the kind of people I always strive to avoid - not get to know on a first name basis.

Not every culture is the same in what they consider rude; not every socioeconomic group is the same in what they consider rude; not every person is the same in what they consider rude.

Consider talking to people and trying to understand them before you cast judgement on them. Cultural relativism really isn't that hard.

Honestly, I might if I think it's just women, but for crying out loud does anyone anywhere want to go confront any man about something like this? No one wants to go tell some big guy to stop begin an inconsiderate prick. And if his cultural background leads him to truly believe he is not being a prick, that just makes the situation FAR more frightening.

If his cultural background is that no one in his culture has ever called him out for being inconsiderate I can see how he might make this mistake.
