If all these men are claiming all these women are out to get them and make false statements, they would have already been using every tool available, hence they would have been wearing some form of body cam prior to this. They are simply saying it now, because it's way more discreet to use these glasses and potentially use them for other purposes.

If you are using cameras for some kind of defense, you make them loud and proud, not super discreet. They are designed to be a visual deterrent so the possible crime is less likely to happen in the first place.

Given the controversy already present with "super discreet", wouldn't you expect even greater negative social pressure with "loud and proud"?

It seems obvious that acting paranoid (regardless of sex or the subject of fear), results in negative views of the person, so they would naturally want to hide their paranoia.

If they are honestly using it as a defense to false accusations, they SHOULD be ok with being loud and proud about it.

Saying "I'm taking precautions against you" is borderline accusatory. If this was the true reason no socially competent person would say this.

Ding ding ding. You're 100% right that the people saying this aren't socially competent.

Either they can't socialize normally, or they are using this as a smoke screen to justify being pervy. Or both. Probably both.
