True, but men are generally outright confrontational and when dealing with men, speaking their language is likely to lead to them understanding in the moment what just happened.
- sliverstorm 13y agoYou are not wrong, but that is not a practical solution if a given women cannot bring herself to implement it.
- gnaritas 13y agoUnderstandable, but meek people get walked on; that's simply how the world works. How it out to work really doesn't matter, practically speaking you must play the cards you're dealt. If a guy hits on a women and she doesn’t like it, she needs to end it somehow, either by leaving, or by confronting.
- sliverstorm 13y agomeek people get walked on; that's simply how the world works I agree, and so my personal advice to individuals is to not be meek. But one of the points of civilized society is to defend the meek. So, the two messages (stop being meek for your own sake; we need to defend the meek) are not incompatible.
- gnaritas 13y agoI don't think they're incompatible at all. Had I been there an seen it, I'd have defender her, but when there's no one there to do so, the meek must step up or get walked on. The world isn't as it out to be. There's always the leave option, or simply move away from that person.
