Yeah paying people more is actually GOOD FOR CAPITALISM! It pretty much shows that the hard core free marketers don't actually care about capitalism, they just hate the idea of people they wrongly deem lazy and undesirable getting off easy.

Gawker has the gif!

When has this ever worked that ignoring sexual advances is taken as dissuasion?

"Silence is NOT A NO" . . . Cool story bro, that's exactly the mentality that rapists have. I know this because the man that raped me used that exact excuse.

No, you were saying that an extreme tiny minority of men react badly when women reject them, in any way. I was pointing you to a resource that refutes that. Unless that "tiny minority" of men are really really busy harassing women 24/7 or they have access to the tardis, by the accounts of every woman on @everyday…

What kind of mire of insanity would you have to be living in that this Cyril subplot from Archer Season 2 would even occur to you? Dear god, just DTMFA.

Dude, ALL you've been giving are personal examples. You dismiss dozens of others lived experiences as anecdotal but hold yours up as if they are law. Do you really not see that? How intelligent can you be if you really do not see that you are privileging your lack of experience (which you have admitted numerous of…

It's sickening, honestly, to watch the repeated utter refusal to absorb what WOMEN are telling him about their personal experiences and those of the women they know, and telling them they are wrong and somehow outside of the norm.

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.

The only way they'll know they don't like such advances is if it's explicitly said.

I think I can explain.

Why would you ever think making sexual advances is okay in a professional context?

They are willing. They do speak out. They are speaking out.

Vin Diesel's Facebook page is amazing. He posts Photoshopped pictures of himself with inspirational quotes. Like what teen girls do with Marilyn Monroe and "If you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best," but of himself. He also writes...meaningful life reflections...with thoughtful…

Pee Wee approves this Surfboart dance.

I 100% thought that was Paul Giamatti.

I don't think your situation sounds like friend-zoning in either direction. I think it just sounds like a friendship where boundaries got muddled, and things turned into a mess. That is not the same as an expectation that friendship will turn into something more if you just keep being nice enough. But as you say,…

Yes! As in, "No, she didn't friend-zone you; you girlfriend zoned her." Or, "Get over it, dude. You girl-friend zoned her, and that prickly feeling is the consequence. Next time, ask the girl out on a date if you like her."
