Sad male fan capitalizes on way to be even more creepy to female fans.

As seen on a wide variety of LJ accounts. I have to say there's a clear consensus on the idea of treating women's bodies as public commons and it's not heading in the direction of commutarian touching. Who could have predicted that outcome?

Or that there's always violence on the table: you go along, or you're just setting up a reason to be punished for it later.

I've yet to meet the man who thinks blowing off a girl who's interested in him carries with it a very real risk of physical harm. I've yet to meet the woman over the age of 15 who doesn't know that she's dancing with danger every time she says no.

That too, and thanks for reminding me. Especially since bringing up the spectre of male violence might be helpful the next time I have to reply to this choad (http://misia.livejournal.com/1055120.html?thread=16731024#t16731024) who's whining about how unfaaaaiiiiirrrr it is that bitches can, you know, choose to date the "hot mailroom guy" over the "ugly cubical [sic] guy."
