jaynist fucking crutch on a pogostick.

Have you actually read any of these threads?

treis didn’t just give that impression, he flatly said it, repeatedly.

What the holy fuck is your point?  
Here’s a few highlights for you, since you evidently can’t be bothered to read anything.

> No, clearly an invitation up to a girl’s apartment on a flimsy excuse + an explicit prohibition on sex = she wants to fool around a bit. Maybe she does want to have sex, but she doesn’t want it to be her idea. … You know that apartment = sexy time. Are you not aware that women often use “I don’t want to have sex” to establish a limit, and that this phrase doesn’t mean no hanky panky? Or that some women want to have sex but they don’t want it to be their idea?

According to treis, a man following a woman around her appartment for 15 or 20 minutes and making repeated attempts to coerce her into sex (after she has explicitly and clearly told him that was not happening, and he professed to understand) is perfectly OK and to be expected.
