Masculinity is so fragile that people think it's more important to teach women to reject a man politely

than it is to teach men to accept rejection peacefully.

A shameful state of affairs. Anyone who gets upset by this is on the wrong side.
Period.

Don't judge them harshly, none has it easy...
@being

Can you elaborate on that?
Are you saying we should judge harshly men who react toxicly to being rejected?

@Pikachu we shouldn't judge harshly anyone I'm saying.
But it's a good idea to foster better education on sensual affairs.. schools do very little. But I do trust in teachers..

There are plenty of people who we should judge harshly. I'm sure if you take a casual look back through history you could come up with some examples.

In this context you're right: no one has it easy but not everyone makes the choice to react violently or toxically.
Having it hard is not an excuse for bad behaviour.

@Pikachu you are right, I didn't understand it was going that far. We were talking about rejection, not rape.
But there's aaaalll this gray scale in between.
It's best for women to be precise about what they want, but sometimes, we don't see it coming.
We were being joyous, inclusive and natural and this many times is misinterpreted.
Men need to be taught to listen to our words.

Because for a long time there was a prevalent opinion that "when a woman says no means yes" .
We as women should also make an effort to live by our words and be clear.
