Beware feminists' new man-stabbing dress

Story here. Excerpt:

'Touted as an “innovation” in personal safety technology, a new 3D-printed dress designed by Anouk Wipprecht has been turning heads thanks to its “sinister” spider-like appendages.

These limbs attack all who come too close to the garment.

“It works based on an Intel Edison chip, stored inside, and linked with nearness and breath sensors,” writes FlightCentric. “However, the sensors cannot be perceived by any admirer.”

The dress has three spike-tipped limbs radiating from the area of the wearer’s collarbone.

“If you enter the wearer’s personal space aggressively, the dress attacks,” the FlightCentric piece explains. “Animatronic arachnid limbs attached to its shoulders lash out at intruders. But if you approach calmly and slowly, these limbs might beckon you forward.”

Already, some are advocating the use of such “technological couture” as a means of passively protecting women, who seem to be vulnerable at all times to incursions into their personal space. Women, in fact, are presumed by many within the “social justice” activism circuit to be completely incapable of coping with either unsolicited invitations to converse or any physical violation of what they perceive, rightly or wrongly, as their personal space.

While Cooper’s hysterically racist reaction (it’s within the realm of physical possibility that the man wanted to sit down and thought she was being rude, which she was) pegs the needle of social-justice hand-wringing to reductio ad absurdum levels, it is typical of “progressive” female reactions to benign, routine social exchanges. Today’s progressive women are so utterly incapable of coping with any condition, word, deed or interaction that does not conform precisely to what they desire that they go to pieces the moment something unpleasant (or just unexpected) happens to them.

This hatred for men lies at the heart of every effort on the part of progressives to frame perfectly benign behavior as offensive. In this way, men can be cowed, browbeaten and ridiculed into silence by an effete liberal social class. This is done because “progressive” males are not “men” at all, but eunuchs threatened by traditionally masculine virtues and values. This is why the typical progressive male fears both liberty and laissez faire, both freedom and firearms. A bed-wetting liberal cannot abide another man’s freedom of action because he fears it, and he wants his nanny-state government to take this fear away by coddling and controlling him (and everyone else).

This is the attitude at the heart of the current campaign against “manspreading,” another of those prefix man-words that social justice wieners are forever decrying. What is “manspreading?” It is the simple act of sitting, as Milo Yiannopoulos explains, “in such a way as not to painfully crush the testicles or penis … but which feminists insist is an expression of patriarchal authority.”'
