I just don't care for the implication that I'm "quibbling", when that's the very heart of the problem, and you're contributing to it (out of mere thoughtlessness, apparently). If you can get off to women calling you out on your bullshit, you're welcome (I'm wearing sweat pants and yesterday's T-shirt, if that's any

Yeah, we've already established that a quaint sense of dignity is my archilles heel.

Pretty important distinction, if you ask me. It's not particularly crazy to speculate that there might be a bit of a connection between people constantly saying it's unatural for women to act like that and women not openly acting like that, you know? Who wants to be a freak of nature, after all…

For what it's worth, she likely won't take it anyway, so I wouldn't worry about that too much. People rarely ask for advice to actually take it, especially in matters of the heart, where there are often no objectively optimal solutions anyway and it always boils down to your own priorities. Nobody can make those

Words of wisdom. I think sometimes cluelessness can be a bit of self-protection, especially for guys who often seem to consider it as a betrayal of their gender role to turn down an opportunity for sex with a sufficiently conventionally attractive person, yet may still sometimes feel in their heart of hearts that it

Is there possibly something else going on from her end? She might also be somewhat aware that you have a bit of a thing for her and be a bit needy for male attention/confirmation of her desirablity after having been dumped. That won't necessarily involve wanting to actually sleep with you though, so be prepared to

Everyone else already put it better than I could, but just in case you're still counting: Another vote for over-the-line, red flag for poor boundaries; the persistence is the problem.

For all we know he has made a shrine of those pictures and whorships them daily by sacrificing small furry animals in front of them.

Reactance. It's a powerful drug.

Exactly. And not just ashamed, also afraid, for the pretty legitimate reason that you also get a lifetime bombardement with the message that this is how you get yourself raped.

Naturally?

I would stay away from any jargon, because that makes it seem more solemn than it has to be. I imagine the more common way to do this is to suggest one of those standard role play scenarios where power differentials factor in (eg. student/teacher, or whatever) and sell it as a bit of a joke (which it is anyway, under

Well, OP was begging for an eyeroll and I was fulfilling their wish, because I'm just generous that way.

Let's see how done Adam really is. I have high hopes, but I wouldn't be so sure yet.

Are we watching the same show? Jessa is constantly told that she's awful.

I like shows that zig when they're set up for zagging, but yeah, that one seems inevitable. But maybe Adam will have nothing of it? Adam's primed to fall for Jessa's "I'm just being honest" spiel, overvaluing intensity and a lack of filters as he's wont to, but I have some hopes her destructive anarchism might just

It's not a crime against feminism, but it's also not exactly contributing much to the discussion.

I like her more than most people seem to and I cheered for her when she stood up to Desi ("But I know what I want and you're not giving it to me" seems like a bit of break-through; let's see how it sticks), but self-aware? Granted, being more self-aware than the other girls might not take much (although I like to

Watching the movie, I always fall for the library porn, but in my moments of clarity, I know that you're right.
