You're welcome. It was kind of wordy - so I summarized a lot of it. What a strange story. So many echos of modern life. Including that it sounds totally made up
I guess some days, when confronted by evil, ridiculous posturing just looks innocent, and stupid. Unfortunately there are few innocents strutting around these days.
This is journalistic gold. Thanks so much for the interesting take on protecting men. As one person commented, nowadays mo one knows how to carry on a conversation with another because they are too engaged with their stupid cell phones. Notice we call them “cell” phones because we are the ones in our cells; literally and figuratively.
I agree - I think it’s a satire. I did a lot of research looking for reprints of this piece in other newspapers. Or even articles that mention the incident or the principals’ names. I did find one old book that mentioned this grew out of a letter to Emily Post. But never found evidence that Post published it.

Our indifference to humans is our super power
Love these crazy posts thank you for the weird time trip.

Thanks for brightening up a really gloomy day.
Sorry about the gloom, but glad you found something shiny in the post. It's such a strange story.

It reads like a parody. And the artist had fun illustrating it
This was great thanks for making me smile! What an idiot - I wonder if the article caused an uptick in deep sea suit production 😆
He seems to be an proto-incel
Yes - the blueprint incel
Looking at the rest of the ‘articles’ on the page, I’m guessing this was satire even then! Funny stuff though 😁

That's an incredible poster!
People often wondered why I liked reading magazines from the distant past. This is why.
