Not all blind men!

I haven't seen or heard the details of the incident in question, but I do know this much from what I have inferred from the comments. 

First, not all blind men are like this.  Because more than 50% of my cousins are female whom I was fairly close to growing up & were the closest I had to sisters in my life, & especially two of which are daughters to one of those female cousins (May she RIP) whom I ❤ dearly, I don't dare do even half the shit that many of my male friends may have done prior to when I met my late cousin's two beautiful daughters who are now the lights of my life. 

So, I fully believe that someone's upbringing & their relationships with people both within their family clan, & with their female friends (if any), can heavily influence someone's behavior & mannerisms.  There are plenty of disturbed men out there who aren't blind and are still assholes, but when someone uses their disability to such a sinister advantage, it's not only uncool & creepy, it's either borderline straddling the legal limit, or downright against the law, full stop!

Secondly, all that being said, I would say that, since meeting my late cousin's two daughters, & having them in my life as a reminder that some things in life are worth fighting for, worth living for, that I've become concerned when I hear of stuff like this.  I am concerned for the women in my life including my remaining living female cousins both 1st & 2nd generations, my aunts, my (unrelated) niece, my mom even (that's a given), but especially those two lovely young ladies who have given me a most treasured nickname that I'm more than honored to have bestowed upon me. 

It would not bode well if I found out someone, regardless whether they have a legitimate disability, especially being vision-impaired or having partial or full blindness was taking advantage of any of the women in my life, i.e. family members/relatives and/or friends of mine, & were uncool to any of them!  It wouldn't bode well for that sumbitch idiot who abused their status as "disabled" to harass the women in my life, or worse. 

Unfortunately, the laws regarding "stalking" are not as strong as they should be.  Perhaps if male lawmakers were the victims of female stalkers, the laws would be changed to such a degree that it would end up a federal level felony if convicted.  The other unfortunate thing is that, knowing how male lawmakers think, if they did become victims of female stalkers, laws would be quite specific in singling out WOMEN stalkers.  Yes, that's right.  The men in Congress would conveniently not make a gender neutral law regarding creepy people.  Let's face it!  Congress, & to be more specific, republican men in Congress (both House & Senate) would make sure they are allowed to be fully creepy & disturbing, while making it clear they're not going to protect women, and would even go as far as to PROTECT the sinister men who creep out women to the max. 

Anything bad that happens to women especially when it's regarding a man who has done some fucked up shit are, in the minds of Republican men, the fault of women. 

Example:

Women: "I was raped!"

Republicans: "It's your fault.  You must have done something to provoke him!"

Women: "I was at home!"

Republicans: "You must've invited him!"

Women: "He was an intruder!"

Republicans: "He says you invited him.  That's good enough for me to protect an essentially innocent man against the word of a woman!"

Also:

Women: "This weirdo keeps calling me, heavy breathing into the phone, then hangs up!"

Republicans: "You must've given him your number!"

Women: "It's an unlisted phone line!"

Republicans: "But the phone company has your phone number.  Therefore, he must've gotten your number.  That means he's innocent!"

And.... :

Women: "My (ex)husband hit me repeatedly, and sexually assaulted our daughter!"

Republicans: "You must've provoked him, otherwise he wouldn't have had to defend himself!"

Women: "I was making him dinner!".

Republicans: "So, you were going to poison him!  All the more reason to protect him!"

Women: "He was dumbfucking drunk!"

Republicans: "So, he had one beer.  That doesn't make him violent, or a sex offender!"

Women: "But he RAPED our 12yr old daughter!"

Republicans: "She was probably dressed provocatively!"

Women: "TWELVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER!"

Republicans: "But you both are his property.  You're supposed to do anything he says or does.  It's in the Bible.  Read your bible!"

Women: "HE HIT ME OVER THE HEAD WITH THE SCALDING HOT PAN I WAS COOKING HIS DINNER WITH, AND HE HAS REPEATEDLY SEXUALLY ASSAULTED OUR FUCKING DAUGHTER!"

Republicans: "So, what you're saying is that you were going to poison your (ex)husband, & that your daughter was being sexually promiscuous with him!"

Women: "That's not at all what I said, and you fucking know it!"

Republicans: "All I hear is that an innocent man was going to be poisoned, and that his daughter wanted to have sex with your husband!"

That!  That's that bullshit with Republicans.  They'll dismiss everything a woman says to protect their potential Republican voter & possible campaign donor.

I digress, I'm getting off-topic.  The point is that men who are acting dishonorably & highly inappropriately should be treated as hostile suspects & charged with criminal misconduct & mischief resulting in psychological torment & harassment.  The thing is that unless it happens to male lawmakers, or happening to straight men by obviously disturbed homosexual men, the laws won't change, and women everywhere are at the mercy of police who will follow the law to the letter, meaning they'll conveniently not investigate a stalker who is a borderline sociopath / psychopath that may turn ugly fast if not found, caught by law enforcement, & charged with a felony crime. 

But as for men who have disabilities of any sort who harass people, especially when it's a disabled man being inappropriate with women, it's totally uncool.  And again, it disturbs me when, as a blind man myself, I get labeled as something I'm not because some other idiot took advantage of being "not blind" blind & harassing people, and again especially women!
