I'm a man. Gender is irrelevant and you are way too focused on it. You know what you don't do? Send someone you are interested in 8 texts if they are not responding. You let it go and get on with your life. Both women and men have harassed their romantic interests. This is not something only one gender is guilty of. Stalking is a thing that happens when one person can't accept the idea that they've been rejected. That's what happened here. We don't blame the victim in this case just because she happens to be a woman. We don't blame her because she politely rejected this man and he couldn't accept it. That would be disgusting.

so you're saying I've been harrassed when I was happy to get 8 texts and they're still (still!) sitting their unanswered. Glad to know you get to decide that I'm being harassed! Glad to know that you decided I've rejected that person! By the way I have the same POV as nadya in this thread. I'm not arguing that anything is Okay, just that not answering a text isn't the same as rejecting that person. The poster upstream who said her phrasing made him think she was leading him on, is right IMO. The screenshot should also say a no.
