What? If you can’t say “no,” that’s on you. You can only blame culture so much. At the end of the day, it’s your responsibility.

Imagine a man saying that culture teaches him to keep trying to have sex with a woman even after she says no (this is arguably the case). And imagine if, rather than taking responsibility for changing his behavior, he said, “It is just impossible for me to stop trying to have sex with a woman who tells me no.” Maybe he even actually rapes her due to this problem he blames on culture. Then, rather than taking responsibility, he tries to change the definition of consent so that just turning him on sexually is consent (some MRAs basically do this). Then imagine him imploring that society change so that he won’t be compelled to rape anyone.

That’s how you sound here. Let’s please hold women responsible for saying “no.” And lets also hold men accountable for not listening to “no.” Moving the goal post to a completely irrational position that lacks any empathy for the other side (not to mention every human with Aspergers) isn’t helping anyone.
