Women should avoid men and situations they don't want to be sexual with.

Have you ever seen pretty female beggars? They go straight for the men, who open their wallets. They don't even bother approaching the women.
I can't believe it took so long for a woman to challenge that statement either.

That's my point, women aren't going to give any quarter to a pretty woman because they're jealous of her.

That’s a really extreme viewpoint. But then again so are all of your posts on this topic.

Not as extreme as saying all men could be rapists and women should avoid all men.

I haven't posted anything extreme on this topic.

I've seen studies that show the exact opposite.

Of note, a beautiful woman who appears to be lost and asks for directions gets tons of help, from everyone she asks, people even come up and offer her unsolicited help. Young women, old women, etc. Everyone wants to help.

Which is different from a woman trying to scam someone, as in the case of the female beggars/scammers. Only men are targeted, and apparently that's a lucrative proposition.

Women who don't give are not "jealous", but rather, objective. While men are putty in their hands and buckle under the attention.

You stated that women should avoid men and situations where they don’t want to be sexual. This sounds like women should avoid all men, except when they want sex. If you meant otherwise, feel free to clarify.

It's true that men and women especially value looks, women tend to be more catty and jealous of other females who are more attractive. Women are just not generous in general is why it's a waste of time asking them for help. And I've never really seen a good looking female beggar.

If not having sex with a given man means so much to a woman, then she should not put herself in situations that are conducive to becoming sexual, like hanging out in private and drinking.

Certain individuals with certain insane mindsets do not need to be entertained. There is no point in eating the bait they set out.

When you can see with your own eyes that she's trying to leave and he won't let her?
Neither of us had the benefit of sitting and seeing all of the evidence and testimony.

Considering how quickly the deliberation went, this one wasn't even that hard of a decision.

I for one have some faith that the jurors know a whole lot more than you or I, you're the one basically stating they're wrong but then again, you don't have all the evidence...along with others postulating that the 9 women jurors were just too weak minded and acquitted the guy because his attorney was good looking or other lame reasons.

Takes a lot of hubris to reach such an unyielding opinion vs. TWELVE people that sat and heard testimony and evidence for hours and hours compared to what you read off the internet in 5 minutes.
