"Not all men" and other false probabilities

"I understand that this is a possibility, but wouldn't it be extremely rare?" Even if something is extremely rare, there might be 99.9% chance that it will not happen. Which says that it will still happen to 1 person out of each 1000.  That's a lot of people when you look at it, and the 1 in each 1000 is not selected arbitrarily.  It is misleading to consider how likely is something to happen in general.  The question should be how likely is it that I will be the 1 in each 1000 . In Czechia this is described by the term "socially vulnerable". My neighborhood in Rio has 146.000 inhabitants according to the 2010 census. I don't know anyone else who is a young, conventionally attractive woman, who is an immigrant, works autonomously, has no family, is autistic and fails to make friends (or eye contact for that matter), has light skin just like all the universally hated colonizers, and has money on her.

This validated my worst fears but you gotta face them including the empirically very evident fact that therapy does not help.  As the book puts it, when someone abusive goes to therapy they will leave as a "very happy and well adjusted abuser " because therapy focuses on validating people's feelings and giving them unconditional acceptance.  But the only thing that works on abusive people is giving them consequences: Dump them. Report their threats. Report their violence. Report their stalking and coercive behavior. This is why abusive people usually put most effort into those who are marginalized, isolated or illegal immigrants: The chance that they will be reported is low. If you put an abuser into therapy, he or she will get an insane amount of psychological tools they will use against their victims to gaslight them, and to p...

I just ventured to a neurotypical online space to ask a question, and

  And I realized I talk to neurotypical people like to animals, lmao. I don't even mean it offensively which is probably a whole another and much deeper level of offensive. I just matter-of-factly act a bit like coming to a zoo.
