Sure don’t do anything you say. Let her continue to do this to someone else, and then someone else and someone else and so on until she does possibly rapes a man or something happens to her if she does it to the wrong person, it can happen and it has happened. Its like saying, this man touched a woman in a way she didn’t want to be touched and he was asked to stop and he continued to tough her and she did nothing about it then next thing you hear is that this same man raped a woman because he got away with just touching. Or what about someone who smokes pot should that person get a criminal record for just smoking it? Or what about the girl who blew bubbles in a cops face, should she have gotten a criminal record for that? Where do you draw the line?
Your response is little more than an illogical rant. The OP was asking about the behaviour of one, single, particular woman. You, in your self righteous haste, extrapolated your answer to include pot smokers, bubble blowers and then men in general. Not only is your logic wayward, but your response indicates you see yourself as someone who must save the male of the species from one particular rapacious female! That, my friend, reaks of self righteous arrogance. The assumption you make, that this particular female would repeat her behaviour with all men she dates, is insulting. In that position, a man should be man enough to walk away. Your assumption would give this girl a criminal record. You wouldn’t care, though, would you, because your false moral indignation is assuaged by the thought that you are saving someone else. By the way, if the man is so helpless that he is in danger of being raped, then he shouldn’t be dating in the first place!
I agree. I think it would be best to contact a police station in the event that someone feels their legal rights have been violated.
It is foolish in the extreme to even be thinking of legal action with the scant information given bgy the OP. This rush to seek legal advice, or advice to go to the Police reeks of an agenda to drive a wedge between the sexes. In the field of human relations, this is a disgrace.
She made a pass. He then told her to stop. Was he not entitled to do so? In your opinion is it not sufficient that he told her to stop? Does ‘no’ somehow not mean ‘no’ the first time it’s said, but something different, like ‘please feel free to ignore what I’m saying and continue’?
I’m sure you are pretty good at constructing meanings from the written and spoken word, but gee, you are really stretching credibility, not to mention credulity, when you somehow construct a theory of ‘things that are only said once don’t count’ theory of yours" from what I wrote. Didn’t you read the bit where I wrote *“The man should be man enough to say “no” and mean “no”. If the girl persists with behaviour he finds offensive, then he should be man enough to simply get up and use his two legs to walk away.”?
LilyM, calm down please. You are getting away from the problems of a difficult date to plumbing and even men’s health! If you keep this up, I’ll have to take a lawyer with me on my next date!! Must be property expert. Keep your hands off my property?!!
Do you know what a example is? Can you not see that is what I was doing when I used the pot smoker and bubble blower? Then you say that I must save the male species for one rapacious female, this statement is ludicrist thinking on your part. You miss the points of what I and others are saying to you because you seem to be stuck in the 80’s with this “mocho man” thing. You say that I’m making assumption about this female which you’re correct but what if my assumption is correct about her and nothing was done and she went futher then just touching? Now seem to not like people making assumptions about this by you are doing the same thing by assuming that she will get a criminal record because of this, but chances are she would only be talked to by the police and nothing more. Now I’m going to give another example here, its only a example. Its a example of people not saying something when they see or have a strange feeling about someone. What happened in Tuson. People knew something was wrong with that young man and assumed something like what happened would happen. Now nobody said anything and look what happened or they did say something and nobody took it seriously. You just can’t say “be a man and just walk away” and then make lite of the situation by saying “unless of course she overpowered you.” That is something only someone with no heart would say. You seem to be condoning the actions of this female and making lite of the man. I don’t know where your priorities are?Your response is little more than an illogical rant.

And I don’t know where your thinking is at! I’m not sure you do either.
