@skinnylatte So, even female frogs choose the bear?

β€œChoose a frog. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers... Choose DSY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away in the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself, choose your future. Choose frog... But why would I want to do a thing like that?”

― Irvine Welsh, Trainspotting

@skinnylatte unfortunately it wouldn't work on some men since we are worse than frogs

@skinnylatte Perhaps not. Don't underestimate the persistent nature of the testosterone filled male homo sapiens and the lack of impulse control when this is combined with alcohol and/or narcotic substances.

There are more than enough court cases/articles in the media here in Norway where the fact that the object of the male's desires was in a catatonic state turned out to be of no impediment to the male's pursuit of their goal.

If only we were like frogs. That would save so much distress.

Bullshit. It's not nature. It's that they don't learn that it's wrong and they see other guys get away with it.

@cshlan

"Nature" as in "the nature of the beast", rather than "nature" as "inevitable".

So you are right, it is not a given that all young men will grow up equating "the catatonic state" to "an invitation to procreate".

However, a lot of young men grow up in social vacuums whereby access to such lessons is absent. Even in supposedly egalitarian societies such as Norway.

So I think that it is important to educate my children about such things as peer pressure is a very powerful force.

steve martin used to do a "party guy" routine, where he did his side of a conversation at a party. one was him chatting up a woman. he ended with "so, what's a good number to reach you at when hell freezes over?".

not sure playing dead will be quite enough for some guys...

Yeah. Faked orgasms already failed us. (To anyone else reading this: no, they're not a nice gesture, we fake to make them stop with minimal violence.)
