ORIGINAL: Milesnmiles When I was raised men were to be the aggressor and women were to be passive. The old “men chase and women choose” concept. But now it seems that if the “chase” is more than a onetime offer of dinner, it is sexual harassment. (In the work place asking twice can legally be considered sexual harassment) So I guess my question is; are men to stop being the aggressor, stop chasing and just let women chase and choose? Simply, YES, men are to stop being the aggressor stop chasing and just let women chase and choose. The whole premise is wrong from the start -- you're conflating "pursuer" with "aggressor". They are two very different things. Pursuing a women is asking her out and if she declines or acts wishy-washy, stop pursuing. There is no chasing her, just accepting rejection. After she says no, continuing after her is aggressive. Being an aggressor is to get rejected, but then keep asking until she finally relents. It doesn't have to be in a "mean" manner, just unwanted. Aggressive acts in this sense may include gift-giving, dinner offers, flowers, etc.; acts that would be otherwise be considered nice or romantic. Think Pepé le Pew. My instinct was to call him an extreme example, but with all the women coming out with stories of unwelcome or forced kissing, groping, hugging, etc. some men in power have taken his behavior as normal. The answer here is simple. It's the same as the 2 consent threads you started. If you're worried about being a harasser, just stop assuming there are mind games going on and (here's a totally! new! concept!) take no for no. If she is the kind to play mind games, she'll either miss out or let you know she actually is interested by saying so. Who wants to be with someone who plays mind games and doesn't just tell you what they want, anyway? As far as the workplace goes, there's an old saying: don't shit where you eat. So this is Clover's very first post to you, where she says exactly the same as Focus, that you said we could all go back and read to see where she was so insulting towards you. Yes, it is her first post. quote:
ORIGINAL: needlesandpins Now, as you refuse to back up your lies with me, come on, highlight the insults in this for me, because I'm calling bullshit on you yet again. There is absolutely nothing insulting about this post at all that you had to ignore what Clover said. I already addressed this but if I must. Here you go, in response to Clover asking the same question: quote:
ORIGINAL: Milesnmiles I opened my comment to you about your post this way; "I actually was kind enjoying your post", will you look at that a man actually saying he was actually enjoying your post but let's not stop there, how about checking out your; "where I didn't attack you at all", hmmm it seems you made this non-insult in that non-offensive post; "(here's a totally! new! concept!) take no for no", nope, no insult there. quote:
ORIGINAL: needlesandpins You then throw a hideous insult at her, because your mind went to a place that non of the rest of us needed to. You won't apologise, because you're simply not man enough to do it. You then throw insults at me for pointing this out to you, you accuse me of other things I ask you to back up, but you can't, because you're full of crap. I don't need you to back any of it up BTW, I just asked you to because I know you can't [:D] Honestly, you post something like this and talk about others insults. And again it's your "mind" that keeps bringing it up. quote:
ORIGINAL: needlesandpins One of your accusations is that I keep bringing up the subject, well no, YOU keep doing that with accusations, I'm just replying to your posts and defending myself against your nonsense. Well how about that, accusing you of bringing it up? It's not like you almost continually rant about it or anything. quote:
ORIGINAL: needlesandpins Funny how you're allowed to answer every post directed at you, but what ... I'm not supposed to defend myself against the crap you keep spouting. Help yourself, defend yourself all you want, I'm not stopping you but it would be nice and a little less boring, if you came up with something new to say or at least reword it. quote:
ORIGINAL: needlesandpins Focus is right, you do think you have to have the last word. I already explained to Focus 50 about "needing to have the last word" but okay, if someone addresses a post to me I respond, I thought that is the way a "discussion" is suppose to work. quote:
ORIGINAL: needlesandpins You really do think you are right on this, but you are not. I'm not saying you're wrong about Paedophiles, but you are wrong about there being any extension to 'No means no' in the context that Clover said it in that post. Once again, listen closely, I was not talking about "no means no" and no matter how many times you say it, I was not talking about "no means no", I was talking about the "yes means yes" part, did you get that this time? The "yes means yes" part. quote:
ORIGINAL: needlesandpins She's not the one that needs to do anything. We are not the ones that need to alter our way of thinking. Again, you and her, can think anything you want but when you start posting things you want everybody to take as Gospel, then you should ready for someone to point out the flaws in it and if it was me I would at least take a serious look at it to see if there was merit to what was said. quote:
ORIGINAL: needlesandpins Throw at me the arm chair therapist thing like it's an insult, here's the deal though- I know enough about cars to know when the damn thing is broken and needs a mechanic. I don't hold any qualifications in mechanics. I am not a plumber, but I also know when my boiler is on the blink. I hold qualifications in dementia, Schizophrenia, and Mental health, so yeah sweetie, I can sit here and tell you you need therapy. Honestly, if you were taught that it was okay to hand out diagnoses with only a few posts on the internet to go by, I would go get my money back. And if you think your diagnosis is even ballpark, then if you are working in the field of psychology, you need to go get a job as a mechanic because you would be better at that. Seriously, you really are full of it lol We'd all find you less boring if just maybe you could change your tune too. You see, you're a raging hypocrite! You find me boring for pointing out that you're a liar, that you're NOT discussing anything at all, but actually all you do is twist what people say, lie, and then throw insults when you're caught out. You haven't come up with anything new to say, in fact the only thing you want is someone to agree with you. Anyone that doesn't gets abused by you. Anyone that points out your failings gets abused by you. What's the point of me rewording what I've said, you don't want to hear anything anyone has to say unless it validates what you think. It's the same with the fact that you keep insisting that my mind keeps fetching this subject up. No, you do because YOU have to have the last word, and because you went there FIRST when non of the rest of us did. Same as you had to twist my words to Bounty into something it wasn't too. If anything that sentence would be directed at YOU, because you're the only one with a mind twisted enough to go there. Now, as for this 'yes means yes' bullshit you keep banging on about. Again, YOU brought that up, not Clover. YOU made that an issue, no-one else. YOU brought that side into an adult discussion, but didn't keep it adult in context, but instead used it as a weapon against another member. YOU are at fault, no-one else. My mind is only responding to YOUR bullshit. The rest of the time I'm doing other stuff. If YOU hadn't done this, NO-ONE would be thinking about it. YOU DID THIS, but you're too weak to just admit you used a bullshit saying to insult someone that didn't deserve it. I don't need to keep putting that any other way, you're the only one not getting it. For the part in bold, grammar was not your friend there, so I'm taking a stab in the dark with that one. However, you may just want to practice what you appear to be trying to preach! You have posted a ton of crap in this thread. Including the fact that you accused Clover of insulting you in her first post, I quoted it and asked you to highlight the insults, but you can't. Merit? Seriously? You want to post about merit to me after you've accused me of the things you have, after you said what you did to Clover? HYPOCRITE! Oh, and sweetheart, if you think that I'm judging you based on the few posts you've put in here, you're so wrong. You talk complete bullshit.
