This is what passes for a good article over at /r/feminisms. Nah, women totally don't pursue men this way, do they? And, really, if it does it's so exceedingly rare, right?

Yeah, I find it really disgusting when men even insist that women be “more straightforward”

So according to their logic, they can be shy and circumvent a point, yell/be angry at you without telling you why, ignore you and berate you, and somehow the man is to blame? I just dont get it anymore... What exactly is their end game?

When I have been straightforward it mostly hasn't ended well. In one instance having to call friends for help because he got so aggressive and physical. Some people react better to 'you can't have me' than 'i don't want you'. In others, being sworn at. I'm not saying either way is the right way, rather you can see why it's an easier option.

I think this is a great read highlighting a very real concern. A lot of guys don't take no for an answer and will persist. Despite claiming they want her to be straightforward. If they respected her in the first place then no explanation is needed. This is from a woman's POV, and I would praise the man's equally as I have had to tell some women no repeatedly and justify myself to get them to leave me alone.

So in short: a small number of men did not respect me, therefore I will be deliberately disrespectful and/or hostile to all men?
