ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
Look guy, I've been following this thread pretty closely. I'm really hoping against hope your just a troll and that your not this much of a misogynistic person. But I really think you are. And I simply cannot deal with the level of hate and caustic language against women that you've

You'll have to forgive me, TREB, if I don't believe you. For this reason: I typed "Men really do understand nonverbal no" into google and the third hit I got was a Yes Means Yes article about the study Just Say No? The Use of Conversation Analysis In Developing A Feminist Perspective On Sexual Refusal. The summary of

I find it quite telling that you have expressed far more empathy for the aggressor in this case than the victim. It makes it slightly less shocking (although not less disturbing) to see you accuse women who speak out about their own abuse as making it up or exaggerating:

Why should she write it off? Having a colleague offer to put his penis in your mouth is not and should never be considered an acceptable cost-of-doing-business for working in the tech field (or any field other than porn). If she stays silent, he'll do it again, and probably to other women also since he'll figure he

Because they let that stuff go on Kotaku all the time. The site's commenters (overall, or what seems to be the most vocal majority) are quite hostile to women. While Kotaku's articles regarding women and gaming and such are quite good, the comments below them really tend to undermine said articles. I love Kotaku's

You really should check out the @everydaysexism twitter. It's chock full of instances of men reacting like you say they don't.

I'm willing to bet that you'd spend a lot of time and effort "debunking" even the most scientific study if it didn't line up with what you want to believe.

You are talking about an EXTREME TINY MINORITY OF MEN who would react like that, and when they do, absolutely no one blames the woman for him acting out. All the attention is on the jerk.

Clearly you, telling women that they're infantilizing themselves, are more feminist than I. Blaming women for their own harassment is much more feminist, to be sure.

Reject it all you want. That doesn't mean you are holding the defensible position. This is the latest thing I've seen come when anyone criticizes sexism (or racism) - the idea that we can't be against something because doing that means we are treating a group of people "special". We already do that - it's called

Well men are taught over and over again "No means no" and also the "playing hard to get".

Yes, you are. I'm in those other threads and I've read those other comments. There you are explaining why the company published this article, or agreeing that these issues are important. But here, this is the only comment I see on this whole article where you are calling someone out. You're calling him out on using

I should probably also add.. to clarify the statement you highlighted..

Thanks for the mansplanation. I'm sure women are best off if we men tell them how to feel about their own oppression.

"HOW ABOUT WE TALK ABOUT HOW WOMEN POINTING OUT SEXUAL HARASSMENT REALLY HURTS MEN?"

You are talking about an EXTREME TINY MINORITY OF MEN

Ahh. So it appears you didn't actually want real answers and you really weren't asking in good faith. Color me surprised.

"You are talking about an EXTREME TINY MINORITY OF MEN"

Please feel free to go look the studies up by yourself. They exist out there, easy to find as a Google search. If you care, you'll take the time to look them up.

I think I can explain.
