Here is his answer to this question:

topperharley77 explained his answer publicly
Q: No means NO!
A: A No is just a Yes that needs a little convincing!
Explanation: ?But all you feminists are safe. I would not touch you with a ten foot pole.?

I mean honestly???

I feel like messaging him and pointing out that no women is ever going to touch him with a ten foot barge pole

He may be a right wanker or he may be doing the tounge in cheek thing? who knows. If it doesnt sit well with you then avoid it.

'where do you draw the line between the two though? Is there a definite line?'

Uh, yeah, if someone says 'no' it means they don't want to.

Do you get this muddled up in many areas of your life?

If you ask someone whether they'd like a cup of tea and they say no thanks I've just had one, do you get them one anyway?

Or maybe when your friend's told you they won't be in when you've asked to go round because you're in the area, are you the type of person who'll go round regardless and stand on their drive for hours waiting for them to come back because they're friends and you know they'll always be pleased to see you?

It's the difference between getting things wrong because there's been a genuine miscommunication between the two people, and deliberately disregarding a persons wishes because of imagined justifications/indicators which result in a serious sexual assault.

It's a dangerous person who doesn't know where that boundary is.

ClippedPhoenix · 02/03/2013 01:44

i disagree, with that though agent, boundaries are set by the person who sets them, if they choose to disregard them there could be a positive or a negative involved.

I'd say an interest is a positive thing whether you push a boundary or not, who knows where it may lead.

A definite no is just that.

Muddled isnt a bad thing. There is no black and white. My life is muddled a lot and i wouldn't have it any other way. Im constantly questioning things, im constantly wondering.

I sleep very well.

AgentZigzag · 02/03/2013 02:05

But some boundaries are universal Clipped, and have been for millennia.

Although it's only hinted at in what the OP said this amoeba posted, the idea that some women might get a kick out of being raped is just something that rapists peddle to justify themselves.

It could never be true, because victims serious violent crimes always give clear outward signs during the crime that they're a victim of a serious and violent crime. (I want to say a disclaimer that it's not necessarily always the case, not because they mean yes when they're saying no, but rather because some peoples internal coping strategies make them passive to survive)

How can their even be a debate where the line is?

She said No. No I do not want you to put your penis into my body.

How is that up for debate?

Agent do you realise you've just insulted amoebas everywhere Wink

OP YANBU

No means no...simple as that.

AgentZigzag · 02/03/2013 19:54

I was surprised I managed to spell it right when I googled checking it Chaotic Grin

I'll wait on the Amoebas Discrimination Society letter in the post with baited arsehole breath.

He sounds like a total dick. On the plus side, women know to avoid him.

Bet he can't understand why he's still single Hmm.

I think it's great when shit men proclaim their shittiness. It makes it easier.
