"convicted

having been declared guilty of a criminal offence by the verdict of a jury or the decision of a judge."

While I might joke about how our society treat women as if we were "convicted" for the crime of being women, I imagine that you meant something else. XD

You might not like what I said, but it is still true. I've always find curious that men who have no trouble understanding conversation and context when talking to other men, suddently pretend to not understand rejection from women.

Sure, she could have told him "I'm waiting for the right man and you are not". But then she would have been accused of being "unnecesary" hurtful and rude. And that would have gave the man the excuse to become hostile and aggresive on the eyes of many people. Many men who complain about women "not being cleared in their rejections", are the same that complain about women being rude if they are clearer.

But lets face it, he understand that she has say "not interested" in the same way that when you invite a male friend to something and he said "I love to but I can't because [excusa]" that means "No, but I don't want to hurt your feelings". She has said the same "Not you but I don't want to hurt your feelings". But some men seem to think that if they pretend to not understand, they can keep trying until she gives up and say yes. And when she doesn't they get angry regardless. That is on them.
