Sorry to break it to you, you creepy fuckface; but no. You can't decide that a woman's mouth says no but her eyes say yes.

Teaching affirmative consent is not the same as encouraging women to never be cautious. Trust me, we all grow up knowing we have to take care to avoid rape.

People apparently think it's as easy as going to the Humane Society and picking out a cat.

There's a difference between being a drinker and being an alcoholic you know.

What? They never taught you about the slut clause in high school?

I yelled that in the middle of a bowling alley when I was about three.

So, it's wrong to be angry at injustice? Is that what you're implying?

Now that it's been cross posted to Gawker the butthurt trolls have really come out in full force.

Yeah, geez! How dare women be angry that men can't take no for an answer and that often culminates in murder? How dare we not take kindly to gaslighting and sealioning. Uppity hysterical wimmenz not wanting to debate some of the basic facts of life as a woman with an asshole who wants to play devil's advocate! I'm…

Oh please. You are disingenuous. You were pretending that the OP wasn't relating this specific incident to a wider culture of men feeling entitled to women's bodies. You're pretending it was about specifically fearing that we will be shot at a mall. That's bullshit and you know it. If you didn't purposely…

Quit being a disingenuous sealioning fuckwit. You’re acting like being shot is the only form of retaliation women ever experience for saying no. It isn’t. There’s a million different ways men refuse to take no for an answer and every woman has experienced at least one of them. Since these guys don’t wear signs, we…

Well duh. A woman must be pretty, young, and virginal for the Nice Guy and simultaneously never turn the Nice Guy down because the man pain they experience for being rejected is so much worse than any other pain. It's like being raped! But the man pain a Nice Guy feels when he learns his property has been soiled by…

Usually when men miss the point during a discussion about misogyny it is intentional, isn't it?

Exactly. The motive is never misogyny. It's never relevant to discuss how a culture that designates women as the sexualized and object class could lead to violence against women. It always must be mental illness. A family background issue. Something the woman did wrong. Anything but misogyny.

It's not the same because men are the dominant and privileged group. It doesn't threaten men's lives to take care while rejecting them in case a hard "no" will cause them to turn verbally abusive or physically violent. There's a difference between a marginalized class protecting themselves against violence from a…

You really, really missed the point.

Simple. Just never turn down a man and you'll never have to find out! It's misandry to turn down a man. Of course, then you'll be a slut and deserve to be killed for that too. But at least some Nice Guy boners will get wet in the process.

I used to love Drive. But now, not so much.

Why do apologists for the lack of diversity in Hollywood always assume that most of the audience for movies are straight white men. Everybody goes to movies. There's no reason that cishet, white or male need be considered the default consumer of movie tickets.

I wonder if there’s ever been into any research as to whether or not movie goers pay to see a movie based mostly on the star. There’s a few times I’ve watched a movie that wouldn’t otherwise interest because of who is starring in it. I watched The Host on Netflix because I really like Saroise Ronan. But that’s pretty…
