sexual advances - the big question

457 replies

BBC the big question is currently discussing whether sexual advances should be accepted as a part of life.

The first speaker has said it weakens men and women if women complain about it every time, and that it IS a part of life.

Anyone else watching? Thoughts?

First time posting, hello btw!

We have to "man up" of course.

Totally agree Babyheave. What would we do without the men telling us how we SHOULD feel after being inappropriately touched up at work or elsewhere?

True, baby, very true.

Personally I think its brilliant that we have so many men on MN who are all so interested in discussing feminism and womens rights. I mean, in general life, most gents I've met don't put it at the top of their list of conversation topics, so we're just super-lucky to have some here who are keen to discuss it whenever they can, even to the exclusion of anything else. Super lucky. I think it lends an importance to a subject that may otherwise be overlooked.

sorry Prom, missed your ref. to mistaking me as a female poster. There's the odd debate from time to time as to whether men should make it plain in the nn their sex, but it usually ends in a majority of 'no need', for various reasons.
There's a few female posters who I thought were male from their posts and style, so after a while it gets a bit Confused and it all usually comes out anyways. hth

Yes quite right Larry.

You're catching on.

There have been times I've conceded points to sensible people with good arguments.

But astonishingly, I'm not going to spend Mother's Day looking for them. And tbh I wouldn't spend any other day looking for them either. You're welcome to though, of course. Grin
