I think you're confusing rejections of your assertions with "being upset" Torchlight Feb 13 #90
Snicker Brenda Feb 13 #139
Oh, jeez. I'm late to this thread. He really said women were "being upset" because we object to demands Scrivener7 Monday #240

Well, if that had gone to trial and she was in the dock on assault charges, and I were on the jury... Jedi Guy Feb 13 #178
I don't think so. A man is bigger and stronger than a woman, so she would be justified in fearing that if she didn't tblue37 Saturday #184
A women who was assaulted in a confined space she cannot readily retreat from can/should use all the force she can Attilatheblond Saturday #206
