This reads more as an article about how the author believes that all men who approach her are potential rapists. Hitting the feminist fallacy of "All men are evil" square out of the park. This turns away most male readers, exclusive of the most valorous of white knights. (Source: "I will begin to evaluate the possibility you will do me harm. That possibility is never 0%.")

There is also no real "guy's guide" here, there are a few pointers but they're wrapped in a "You're a rapist, Harry" hearsay stories.

Perhaps the author could have either focused more to enlightened male readers on acceptable ways to approach women (top ten lists are still popular on blogs right?), or better yet disclose where she is meeting these guys so other females can avoid encountering such douchebags.

And for those who can't find the points in the article:

* Respect women * Dress nice * Take subtle clues * Don't Rape (you don't say?)
