Back when I was a banker I had this really weird, overbearing customer who would only go to me for help. It was impossible to get him to leave the branch, even if we were closing down. We'd tell him that it was a safety issue having him there after hours /1
And if I did get pulled over for some reason and it was a different cop, how would I know if he was the same type of man?
So many men are willfully ignorant of why women are choosing the bear when the overwhelming majority of us have stories like this. 7/
Of course we know not all men will hurt us. But enough of them would if given the chance, and we have no way of knowing which man we're dealing with. /end

Also I will just add quickly that my manager's initial response to this behavior, because he didn't want to get involved, was to put me behind the teller line for months so I wouldn't have time to help this man. It was detrimental to my career as a banker.
Obsessed with me and it was creeping everyone out.
My heart still races whenever I drive through that city and see a cop car because what if he recognizes my car and pulls me over? I know it's statistically unlikely but how could I ever be sure? 6/
And he said "oh but her car is outside."
They told him that wasn't my car, but this man did not leave the lobby for the entire hour the branch was still open because he was waiting for me to come out. It felt like I was being held hostage. 4/
And he always brushed us off and told us not to worry because HE WAS A COP. Friends, this man was actually a cop in the city I worked in, we confirmed.
Every chance he got he tried to figure out which car was mine. Offered to walk me to my car so he could /2
After that event my manager finally got involved and told him that I couldn't be his banker anymore and that he would have to go to another branch for help. I still remember several bankers at other branches reaching out about him because he was still 5/
Keep talking to me about his banking.
I remember one day I got out of work an hour before we closed but saw him pull into the parking lot. My co-workers helped me hide in the break room and I heard him come in asking for me. They told him I wasn't there 3/
