Every time I hear, women need to be direct I think about all the times #whenwomensayno
@ask_aubry Luckily, this extreme is not the norm. But it is not uncommon to be shamed and berated for saying you aren't interested. This happens in person but also sometimes verbal attacks and lies spread behind your back. Most don't do this though, thankfully.
@ask_aubry I wish these men would just understand that no means no, and not take it personally or enrage them 😔
@ask_aubry So tired of men telling us to stand up for ourselves! It can literally get us killed!!! How about all these men stand up to the abusive men instead?!?
@ask_aubry I got pushed down a flight of stairs in my high school when I was a freshman after my first ever boyfriend and I broke up & I wouldn't get back with him about a week later. Our friends didn't react when I told them what happened and remained friends with him to this day.
@ask_aubry And so many times I’ve heard we can just say no … huh. Weird. If we do, this can happen 😵💫😒😬😳
@ask_aubry If more women were willing to kill or seriously maim men, fewer men would have the courage to hurt women. Just food for thought.
@ask_aubry the only way they’ll stop is if we start being crazy ourselves, and we know we could never do that
@ask_aubry Unfortunately there really isn’t a “Right” way for a woman to handle this, as you are dealing with a unrational person with violent obsessive, tendencies/intentions.
@ask_aubry I was at a bar in Amsterdam many moons ago with 1 other a friend. A guy heard us speaking English and decided to just join us and proceeded to talk at us. He went the loo so we moved. The abuse he hurled at us when he came back was incredible!
