    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.
