    Dude, horse people are crazy I swear. One time, I had a random horse rider on my land. I had a dog with me that would attack predators/ large animals. A random horse person decided to use our trail and approach us. I grabbed my dog (100+ lb) and held her with me, hoping they would pass. We have clear fence lines, so it wasn’t an accident. I hid the dog from the horses vision.

    The horse rider had the fucking gaul , after showing up on MY land to say “your dog is scaring my horse, can you please stand up straight and act more approachable?”. Mother fucker I’m not approachable at all right now. Take your horse home, and fuck off. They TRIED to make it a habit. I told them they could come back if they want to, but they’re going to get bucked off. They haven’t come back much. I get the idea, the horses are easily scared. You need to be careful around them. DON’T BRING THEM TO A RANDOM PERSONS RANCH AND COMPLAIN.

      The nerve of some people, to be where they shouldn’t and then tell you how to act. I’ve ran into weirdly entitled horse people several times on hiking trails. For whatever reason horses have right of way over hikers and I’ve had so many horse people exercise that when it’s been bad for me (and them). One lady tried to get me to stand by the edge instead of the mountainside because drops made her horse nervous. Like motherfucker, this whole trail is drops. Walk your horse if you brought the wrong one for the job. I’m not falling 200 ft so you can pretend to be a cowboy. Also, trudging through horseshit sucks. /rant

        If its their land, man, I get it. Horses are super skidish. If its a private horse trail, they have the right of way. If they’re anywhere off that trail, they’re just being entitled.

          I’m sure private horse trails exist but I’m talking about public land where horses do have the right of way. The right of way goes Horse-pedestrian-bike. Sometimes people will cede their right of way, as to not force other trail users into dangerous positions. Trail riders almost never do. Mule and horsepackers often will, just not usually the purely recreational riders. I’m not saying anyone is doing anything illegal, but at the same time we shouldn’t let the law get in the way of morality. Well trained horses aren’t skittish. Well trained dogs aren’t reactive. Well trained animals are rarely the problem and it’s not like I’m going to blame horses for their riders’ lack of control.

        This is basically how the USA started.

        Meatballs 2 was not a great movie but PeeWee was in it. He said this to the other camp leader. He flipped the guy the bird then held it horizontally and pushes it towards him. The guy ignores him and walks away. Minutes later, he comes back outside and sees PeeWee do it again. The guy holds up the finger and says “I know what this means, but what’s this?” horizontal bird.

        That’s when PeeWee explains. Guy grabs him by the face and shoves him off camera.

      That’s not just horse people, snowmobilers, bicyclists, hell, I had a guy just wander into my yard through the 6 ft privacy fence because his cheapo drone crashed in my yard, maybe. Fucking metal detectorists. I keep telling them it’s illegal to dig in public places in this state and every single time, they argue with me and I have to threaten to call the cops before they fuck off. I even caught one in the boulevard in front of my house. Like WTF do you expect to find there? Random bolts that fall off cars? Nobody walks there, dude. Ever.

        Snowmobilers for sure. At least those guys I can give the benefit of the doubt since the fences are usually buried. Crazy about metal detectives though. I never would have thought

      Horse people are generally less used to rejection and being told no then the regular, average trail enjoyer

    Given that we still have stupid pointy shoes that fuck up our feet because they made horse riding with stirrups easier forever ago, I fully believe this is a valid possibility.

      Hey, last time I was at a water park a woman’s top popped off at the bottom of a slide and half of us died getting trampled by the nearby horses.

    Other women, mostly, is the actual answer to the title question. At least in modern times. No one hates women more than other women.

        Female misogyny is misogyny and pretending it doesn’t exist isn’t helping anyone, so I will go fuck myself, but not because you told me to.

          Im not saying women can’t be misogynistic. many are.

          you’re saying women are the main perpetrators of misogyny. a lie made to blame us for our own oppression.

                You’re quoting me out of context. Saying “no one hates women more than other women” is not the same as saying women are the main perpetrators of misogyny. It’s pointing out that internalized misogyny exists and that sometimes, women can be harshest toward other women for stepping outside social norms, like going topless. That doesn’t absolve men or society at large from responsibility.

        Go to Iran and see how many of the morality police are women.

        It’s not always black and white. Religion rots brain of both genders.

    I don’t really like seeing anyone’s nipples in public. But then, I also understand the difference between my personal preferences and need for legislation.
