I think you're talking about an entirely different situation, though, since you made your interest clear upfront. You didn't pretend to ask her to hang out as friends or bullshit around.

If the girl followed a guy home who continually was trying to get away from her, she'd face an even greater backlash as "that crazy chick" instead of having people like you defend her.

No one's holding up that end of patriarchy here.

Exactly. While Rosa Parks and people like her did great things by challenging social norms, and encouraged others to, the dire consequences meant that you can't really fault all the other people who didn't.

Or, they didn't feel like there was a reason to bring it up with you?

If they're following someone home, that's not because they're socially awkward, and is hella assertive. I don't even think it's sexism; they just plain don't care how the woman feels outside of liking them or not.

It's happened to me on many an occasion, and happened to pretty much every girl I know.

Probably because guys wouldn't go off and call a woman a bitch and get all aggressive when her brother is around??

Now I want a DBZ live-action.

That first guy reminds me of Master Roshi from DBZ

No, that's not a valid comparison.

Aaaaand again, freedom of speech only applies to government censorship. It does NOT provide you with freedom from other people's opinions, unless you'd like to crack down on their freedom of speech?

I thought that was Korea.

No, it's pretty obvious that his agent told him it was an audiobook reading, and he went there expecting to read a book for recording, just not D&D.

Yeah, sounds like your husband is a dick.

And his point was wrong.

Try Khan Academy!

It's not an outrage so long as they both wanted it and you weren't, like, a total dick about it. To each their own, to each their own.

I said the industry was dominated by men. I did not make any assumptions or inferences about them. Stop trying to make it seem like I have an agenda.

It sounded like you were blaming her for not speaking out, and the rest of us were cluing you in to why she might have such a response.
