‘It’s tough for me to know where the line is’: The #MeToo era is making dating more confusing
Washington Post ^ | February 13, 2018 | Lisa Bonos

Posted on 02/14/2018 2:08:30 AM PST by C19fan

Over the summer, Geoffrey Knight is in bed with a woman he is dating. He puts his hand on her breast, and she swats it away. “You need to ask before you touch me,” he recalls her saying. Knight apologizes, saying he had assumed it was okay because they had just had sex. “You should never make that assumption,” she retorts. Flash-forward a few months, and Knight, a 25-year-old Washingtonian, is sleeping with someone new. He is asking “Can I touch you here?” “Can I do this?” every step of the way, and his partner wants to know what is with all the questions. She prefers a more proactive approach.

‘Just don’t fornicate, Jeff.’

if the premarital version of this first woman is this addicted to sexual power tripping, what makes you think marriage is going to change her...?

‘How many married guys does this happen to?’

not too many, hopefully...else the divorce courts would be overloaded...

These feminazis are the first to try to taunt young men out of their parents’ basements and into relationships because nobody (except maybe other women) want to touch their breasts...

That may not be what they are complaining about but they are complaining.

I hear you. I have been married 46 years. I would hate to be a young guy today. My son is mid 30s and never married. His long term female relationships have been a disaster, one after the next. After several of these he is not even trying anymore. He plays golf and finds it much more enjoyable.

‘The long term fix is to repeal the 19th.’

actually, we need a new amendment, requiring a socio-political awareness test before being licensed to vote...

Good Knight.

‘the moral of this nonsense is to only date Helen Keller types...’

just for the record, and for those who like early morning off color remarks, does anyone know why Helen needed two hands to pleasure herself...?

My children are still teens, so I don’t know what lies ahead for them, but they are aware of the dynamics today (it is practically shoved down their throats) so they’ll probably end up in the same boat.

Some people seem to be doing OK marrying traditional foreign women; they may go that route. Your son has to be mindful that as they age, women who want families will say just about anything to get them.

Well - this happened after they had already had sex. So rarely I suppose!

All I can say is that if some women gets into bed naked with you and lets you boink her and then she accuses you of molestation for putting your hand on her breast, or anywhere else afterward, you can hope I’m on the jury.

Oh, he is. At this point he rarely even talks to females from what I hear. Golf. His big thing In life is to get “into the eighties”.

And if that marriage fails, there is the ‘child support’ that must be paid for 18 years. In today’s world men need to realize that foreign women want a green card, children, and money....the marriage may just be a means to an end!

I believe women need to have justice for rape, sexual harassment, and domestic violence. However, those who plot and plan to get into USA with fake love, to get children who are citizens, or that green card...that is a travesty! People with children are tied together forever, or at least until their death! SAD.

Planning a family should be done out of love, and desire to be together always...even though it does not always end up that way!

Sadly, I think this is becoming all too common. But I don’t blame them after spending time around today’s young women. Maybe around 10% of them are even worth having. The rest have joined the eternally angry pussy hat marchers ... no man should ever have to endure such torture throughout their lifetime as to be married, or attempt to be married to such a critical individual.

In a society in which people didn’t screw around, there would be much less point in “sexual power tripping.” There’s no reason she couldn’t be a decent person (him, too) under other circumstances.

George Washington would have asked, “What was he doing in bed with a woman who was not his wife?” Even now, you have to wonder about how he picks his bed mates — the woman seems like somebody guys should avoid.
