  Men who want to flirt with women have to realize: Women live in a state of continual vigilance about sexual safety. It’s like having a mild case of hay fever that never goes away. It’s not debilitating. You’re not weak. You’re not afraid. You just suck it up and get on with your life. It’s nothing that’s going to stop you from making discoveries, or climbing mountains, or falling in love. Sometimes you can almost forget about it. It doesn’t mean it’s not there, subtly sucking your energy. You learn to avoid situations that make it worse and seek out conditions that make it better.

  If a female stranger is wary around you, it is not because she suspects you are a rapist, or that all men are rapists. It’s because a general level of circumspection is what vigilance requires. Don’t take it personally.

  If this frustrates you, try to remember that women are blamed for lapsed vigilance. If a woman does get raped, everyone rushes to see where she let her guard down. Was she drinking? Was she alone? Was she wearing a short skirt? Did she go to a strange man’s room for coffee at 4am?

  A woman must be seen to be vigilant as well as be vigilant. If she is deemed insufficiently vigilant, she will be at least partly blamed for any sexual violence that befalls her. If she’s regarded as downright reckless, that “evidence” can be used to completely exonerate her rapist. If it comes down to a he said/she said dispute over whether sex was consensual, as so many rape cases do, the dispute becomes a referendum on whether the woman seems like the sort of reckless person who would have sex with a stranger.

  If a woman does go back to a strange man’s hotel room at 4am, even if she only wants a coffee and conversation, she’s more or less given him the power to rape her. No jury is going to believe she went up there for anything but sex. So, don’t be surprised if a stranger reacts badly to that suggestion.

  But most of all, stop thinking that what people so loathingly refer to as the “friendzone” is some sort of purgatory women put “nice guys” into. My friendship is not a crappy consolation prize that you’re left with if I deny you a sexual relationship– and my body is not your reward for good behavior.

  Documentary of the Day: It’s like The Cove, but with seals.

  Animal Planet will air next month a one-hour documentary, Seal Wars, on Namibia’s brutal seal slaughter — more than 85,000 Cape fur seals (the majority are pups) are clubbed or shot to death each year. According to Humane Society International,such methods are not only cruel, but also unsustainable to the South African seal population.

  The footage for the documentary was shot covertly last year, when Sea Shepherd Conservation Society launched Operation Desert Seal in an effort to expose “Namibia’s dirty little secret” and drive international awareness “until the Southern Hemisphere’s sole seal cull is abolished.”

  “We created quite a controversy in Namibia,” said SSCS’s Steve Roest, who led the team into Namibia. “But the suggestion by the Namibian government that we breached their national security and the fact that they used the navy, army and police to keep this slaughter hidden speaks volumes to the corruption involved.”

  The documentary airs June 8.
