@hawkeye10,
Quote:When people say "freeze up" they normally mean that they cant make their mouths say the "NO!" that they claim that they want it to, it does not normally mean that they become stiff as boards, though it can. I am firm in my assertion that it is not with-in the man's power to know the unexpressed mind of a woman, it there fore does not matter what her mind was, it only matters what she expressed and how closely the man complied with her EXPRESSED mind.
This time, BillRM is right and you are wrong. What a person expresses in body language, whether by coming stiff and tense, or by giving a shove, is a communication, it is being EXPRESSED. If the other person freezes, it certainly should
not be taken as a clear indication of consent. And the rape laws are written to indicate that the lack of consent can be expressed either in terms of behavior or in words. And BillRM is right, any indication that the partner is unwilling is the time to stop and to start verbally communicating with each other about what is wanted or unwanted, and why.
You personally resent the entire idea of having to have consent, or agreement, or permission, from a partner. You want to do what
you want to do, and you don't like the feeling that the other person can interfere with that, or hold power over you in any way. You also resent the idea that people should be communicating with each other during sex, and paying attention to each other's communications. You are about as self-absorbed and self-centered as a person can get.
You are exceptionally naive if you think that "feminists" are the only females concerned with issues such as consent, or communication, or rape. These issues concern most women, and most women would differ with your views. Actually, most men differ with you too, and that has been apparent throughout this thread.
Quote:The feminists are having a lot of success getting corporate America to adopt their standards, something that we should be alarmed about.
Again, you are exceptionally naive if you think feminists are the only females concerned with issues of sexual harrassment in the workplace. Have you ever met a woman who was completely indifferent on this issue? Most people. both women and men, don't want to have to deal with unwanted sexual advances or pressures in the workplace, they go to work to do their jobs.
