    That point is not to say woman are asking to be raped. Not at all.

    AH reminds me of a nature documentary I saw where Attenborough looked around at the beach full of horseshoe crabs and said "this place is fxxxxxx crawling with them"...

    Men are obviously better at driving, we are also better at hanging pictures, changing a flat tyre, programming the TV, and any job round the house that needs a male brain & a toolbox :)

    Women are great at many things too! (just ask my wife).

    ...this should be fun.

    The sad thing is a discussion will evolve out of this and the total idiocy of the opening post will look like it has some weight to it.

    See that's no fairer a statement than the OP's tbh and definitely not one that I've heard uttered by the women in my life.

    Yep, I've never heard of it either. I've certainly never thought it either. Imagine being so full of yourself that you thought every man was mad after you.
    Its not about being full of yourself. You're saying you can just chat to a lad in the bar and he doesn't try I on with you/make a move on you? I was sitting with the 62 year old father of the guy I am in the band with in a bar, making pleasant conversation, and he (the 62 year old) asked me to come back to his house with him. I feel I live in a particularly misogynistic part of Ireland though.

    Your colour formatting doesn't show on touch :p

    Men are great at those things and women are great at reminding them six months after they said they'd do it.

    That's not what I said at all. I am often propositioned. I know how to turn someone down nicely.

    You're well able to say "no thanks", aren't you?

    To be fair, bars are where people tend to hook up, it's not like you were in a DIY shop asking about paint when he asked you to go back to his house ...

    Does every man you meet proposition you?

    Theres a saying among wome n that you cant even talk to a man without him thinking you are mad after him. see what is real, not what you decide is true!

    Noooop.

    You quoted both of us :)

    And what you said had zero bearing on bee06's post but did make sense in reference to mine.

    Inanyways. If some absolute ride of a man your age that you very much did fancy propositioned you, would that be misogynistic or just a good night?

    What? Seriously? What the hell women do you hang around with? I've never heard that from any woman I know, so please don't speak for all women with that "saying."


    It's just as sexist as the sexism you're railing against prior to the bit in bold. Double standards.
