#Examples of Controversial Social Opinions

2. #GunControl: The topic of gun control is a hot-button issue in many countries. Some advocate for stricter gun laws to reduce violence, while others argue in favor of gun ownership as a means of self-defense and protection.
3. #AbortionRights: The debate over abortion rights is deeply divisive, with individuals on both sides holding strong beliefs about women’s reproductive rights and the sanctity of life.

In conclusion, discussing controversial social opinions can be challenging, but it’s essential for promoting understanding and empathy. By being open-minded, using respectful language, and educating yourself, you can engage in meaningful conversations about controversial topics.

You can approach women in person as long as you are respectful and back off at the first sign of disinterest. No, she will not call the cops. No, you won’t be insulted or attacked. No, you won’t be filmed and put on tiktok or youtube and therefore get cancelled.
Anyone who claims that you can’t approach women anymore just has social anxiety and is trying to rationalise their irrational thoughts. I’ve had them, I know.
