What is it about a No from a women/women that causes so much reaction? It's just a word that conveys a boundary - No, I don't agree with you/No I don't want you near me/ No I feel uncomfortable with you breaking my boundaries eg opening the closed door of a bathroom whilst I am in it. What gives you the right to softly or aggressively not hear my NO?

Because all the rules of misogyny.

But why do we accept this as a class? It's fucking outrageous that a woman's NO isn't heard by the wilfully deaf. We should take men to court, as a class, for pretending not to hear us.

The worst thing a woman can be is “not nice” or anything someone else doesn’t want her to be.

I agree but it's not reasonable because a guy will hear a NO from a guy but not from a woman. He doesn't consider the guy to be not nice, just a guy protecting his territory

Because it is seen as “not nice”. The worst thing a woman can be is “not nice” or anything someone else doesn’t want her to be.
