That's very plausible. Certainly it's all that Calamity Jane, Green Witch, and you are hearing.
My main point, as it happens,
wasn't that Mickey could sleep with whomever she wants. It was that she could
decline to sleep with whomever she
didn't want to. That it was courageous of her, not lame, to stand her ground on this against both her wannabe knight and the friend she talked to. So if this thread is becoming about nothing else but my introductory point, that's because the three of
you refuse to hear anything else.
Perhaps Mickey can appreciate nuanced responses; perhaps she can't. But through your responses, Calamity Jane, Green Witch, and you have
proven that you can't. And you're supposedly the grown-ups here.
