Okay so for the last couple of days on my Friends page I've been seeing a banner ad for ThatsNotCool.org and its a cute ad which has a Ken doll and a Barbie doll IMing and the conversation goes something like this

Women are trained from a young age to never upset anyone and acquiesce to requests and demands, especially from men. You might be shocked at how many men use the "badger her until she wears down" technique to get what they want. I've had it used on me many times. Eventually you want to give in just to get the asshole to leave you alone.

It works, but for all the wrong reasons. Don't fucking try it.

He wouldn't dare. Because I'd kill him.

(joking aside, no, because like he said... ew)

But then, I'm the type of girl to tell someone who tried that where to shove his pic.

This is a very touchy subject for me and a flash point if you will. Not specifically pictures, but the pressuring of a woman to do anything.

Men are vile disgusting manipulative pigs just like our stereotype defines us. Yes, we can stomp our feet, puff out our chest, hold our banner of chivalry and say that not all men are like that. Well, the reality is that no stereotype is 100% encompassing, but they are stereo types for a reason.

It might not work in half a dozen lines like the example, but it does work. I've known far too many women that have bowed to pressure of one sort or another to say it doesn't. And with that, I'll go before I really start in on the topic.

Yes. It's stupid. No. It would never work like that. Unless she was a crackwhore or knocked up & looking for a babydaddy.
