“
Here is the thing, okay? Coming into a feminist conversation with, “Have you considered that sometimes women acquire free drinks at bars?” is like walking into graduate school during Philosophy finals and saying, “Have you considered that the color blue that I see may not be the color blue that you see?”
Imagine you are the guy who just walked into that Philosophy class and laid that shit down. Imagine the class full of students who have worked very hard and committed themselves and sacrificed to be here, students who have spent several years of their lives learning about this subject. Imagine now their feelings when you go to the head of the classroom with a smirk on your face and demand the professor give you an A for effort. Imagine now that they think you are a douchebag asshole, because they do, and because you are. You are a douchebag asshole because you are obviously so self-centered, arrogant, and completely ignorant of the world around you, that you thought you could walk into a high-level course with no background and no work and say something profoundly simplistic and totally unrelated and also everybody should congratulate you for having done this thing, so brave, so provocative.
[….]
You are not asking us a real question. You are simply illustrating, for all to see, your own ignorance. You are saying, “I have not considered the implications of the question I have just asked. I have not taken the time nor effort nor commitment to sit down and ask myself this question. Instead, I have come into your philosophy classroom/office/feminist blog and shat out my question with a smirk, because I believe that my two seconds of thought are worth more than your long-term analysis, because I believe I am worth more.”

“The truth is, though, that it’s an incredibly simple and casual thing. I mean, I ask “honey, do you want to go for a walk?” too; I don’t just grab him by the arm and start dragging him down the street. It’s natural to ask someone before involving them in an activity.” —
Cliff Pervocracy, “Asking.”
This whole article on consent and stuff, just… *fangasm*

I am also in no way obligated to say yes to anything. And if I said ‘No I don’t really want to go for a walk’ you could go for a walk yourself or maybe I would want to go for a walk later or maybe we could just do something else. And that would be fine. And unless I volunteered the reasoning behind it, then you don’t need to know why or you ask once I say I don’t want to talk about it you let it go. It’s literally one of the EASIEST things.
Claiming otherwise is a trademark of rape culture. Pushing for a reason when the other person is not comfortable giving one, has none in particular, or has said they don’t want to share is a trademark of rape culture. Feeling you are entitled to either the action itself or a reason behind a no is a trademark of rape culture.
