I'm going to be blunt. The woman who say this things, are the ones who want to please men by repeating their "truths". They do know they are lying and that many women meant no when they say no. Not just that, many, many women keep repeating that "no means no". The message is already clear.

And I'm going to abound in this. We can even clearly say "I don't like you, you are ugly" or other rude statement meant to make the refusal even clearer. Yet, while we would be called "bitches" for being rude, the refusal won't be acknowledged by men who repeat that lie that "no means perhaps or even yes", they would claim that "women don't know what they want" or that we "are playing hard to get". But all those claims are plain lies to keep refusing to accept a rejection.

We are clear and men are perfectly able to understand us that is why when a woman is not interesting, the men who want to push boundaries think that they need to make that woman drink more. Well, I've news for you. The moment a women say "no" and you think "I need to get her drunk", you have understand the rejection. You just don't like it and want to change it.

But rejections aren't negotiable. It is not a "sell" where you are supposed to keep pushing until the other "give up".

By the way, you say that we "shouldn't complain about men falsely decrypting", yet, you do complain about women not being clearer. But if "no" is not clear enough, which exactly is the formula we need to use? Do we need to slap you? And if we slap you, would you take it as the cost of us being clear enough? I mean, it would only be logical, right? I mean, the way it used to work was to say that we already have a boyfriend. But it turns out men also want it to be true, which leaves the single women without a way to say no. Worse, many men doesn't care about the women having a boyfriend. Go figure. So I'm asking you, what does a women needs to say or do for men to accept rejection at first try and without risking the men becoming angry and violent?
