I think the most telling insight of the entire test, in all the times I've discussed it with people, is when guys read this
> Maid Marion begged the Sheriff for their release, pleading her love for Robin. The Sheriff agreed to release them only if Maid Marion spent the night with him.
And somehow many of them end up with the impression that MM offered sex.
edit: I wasn't really replying to this post in particular, it just seemed like a good place to go about it. If you check the response for women for your ordering, by the way, the response is fairly positive.
- banachtarski 11y agoNowhere in my statement did I say that MM offered sex. I'm not sure where everyone responding to me is getting that. I said the sheriff allows himself to be bribed with sex which is orthogonal to who propositioned the bribe in the first place.
- staunch 11y agoWhat if The Sherrif's entire motivation in imprisoning Robin Hood was to have sex with Maid Marion?
- banachtarski 11y agoYep indeed. What if. What if Marion had an opportunity to rescue Robin Hood ahead of time but allowed him to be captured as an excuse to sleep with the Sheriff? What if the sheriff was just testing the bond between Marion and Robin and knew that they wouldn't be right for each other so he did this to break them up? What if Robin abused Marion because the sheriff brainwashed him while he was in the dungeon? What if little john is actually a lesbian girl? Honestly, like I said, the problem space is unstable because there are too many details omitted. I could come up with a different backdrop of circumstances that could sway the scale any way I want.
