When MRAs and rape supporters (but I repeat myself...) are the ones celebrating alongside you, you should probably rethink your position.

Today feels like a good time to remind everyone that they have done studies on gender, miscommunication, and “soft nos”

And the overwhelming conclusion

is that men claim ignorance when they are talking to women and the topic is sex/dating

but demonstrate competence otherwise.

And that this includes both

understanding that language that doesn’t include “no” can still mean no

and being able to interpret body language correctly.

I'm adding this link to the end of this thread (thanks @wiredferret!) because the thread is getting retweeted a lot and this article and studies are really important.

One of the studies concluded that "Drawing on the conversation analytic literature, and on our own data, we claim that both men and women have a sophisticated ability to convey and to comprehend refusals, including refusals which do not include the word ‘no’, ..."

"...and we suggest that male claims not to have ‘understood’ refusals which conform to culturally normative patterns can only be heard as self-interested justifications for coercive behaviour."

I repeat: "...we suggest that male claims not to have ‘understood’ refusals...can only be heard as self-interested justifications for coercive behaviour."

I’m a thin person who rarely exercises and regularly abuses drugs and alcohol, whose diet consists almost exclusively of pizza rolls and Cinnamon Toast Crunch and I can’t remember the last time someone told me that I was disgusting or that my body was unacceptable because they were ‘concerned for my health’ so I’m gonna need some of u to come up with a better reason for your fatphobia and hatred of fat people (or better yet maybe just learn to mind ur own business lol)“]
