    As an aside, telling men “no” does not always work. Sometimes women do need to resort to saying they’re “owned” by another man for men like this to back off. Because ultimately men like this do not see women as people that deserve respect, they view women as objects.

    Just something to think about next time you want to believe all men are good and respectful.

        If you were aware, you wouldn’t assert that men would take a “no” the same way as “I have a boyfriend”.

        Read through the comments in this thread. There’s quite a good discussion around approaching people with the intent to date.

            Read the fucking rules.

            Rules…

            Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women’s community is a good fit for them.

                    Alternatively, why subscribe to a community when you don’t agree with the rules?

                    Or, if you browse by ‘all’ for some godforsaken reason, why not be aware that different communities have different rules?

                  Ah but don’t you see? The entire internet is for men and it’s sexist for women to gather on our own. We must have male escorts lest we devolve into misandry and witchcraft as women do when left on our own.
