so that the roofie drops into your own drink. Drink it immediately so that you pass out and don't rape anyone.

(1,969 posts)Get consent, and only ask one time, then forget about it. Getting a yes on the fifth try is not getting consent!

(1,605 posts)And not be grumpy if a partner says no because there's no obligation to say yes.
But that's starting to be a lot of things to remember, so back to my hermit life. 🙃

(1,969 posts)Sorry for being picky. I have known guys who feel as long as they get a yes, that is consent. They will use guilt or anything else they can, but it not consent, no matter what they think. There are some real assholes out there.
I hope you have a lovely day/evening.

Guys have to listen to women.
If a woman told me "no!" that was it. I knew I had reached a line she didn't want me to cross.
Above all, women are human beings, not play toys for a man's amusement.
I don't see how this is so difficult for men to understand.

(15,256 posts)Back then, if a woman wanted to have sex - or even just a swell old 2nd base or 3rd base sort of time, but didn't want to be thought of as being too loose, she used to flirt and tease until she got the situation to where she wanted.
It was a dance. Unfortunately, later, the game got really twisted and an increasing number of man-boys could't be trusted.
Sucks, but man-boys who can't respect or think of anything but their (honk-honk) are pretty much responsible for the death of flirting and mutual fun.

(20,295 posts)Of that there's no doubt. There were "incels" back in my day, but they didn't form a political movement and demand sex frm women. Eventually most all of them found someone. We live in an "I want it NOW" society, I guess. I see it every day.

(292 posts)Avoid men who are marginal media celebrities who feel they can molest you because when you are a star they let you do it, you can do anything, grab 'em by the pu**y.

(2,867 posts)If you see a woman alone in a dark parking garage, spray yourself in the face. Your gasps and coughs should create enough commotion to alert the woman as well as any bear or confidential FBI informant she is intending to meet.
