Henry Cavill criticised for #MeToo comments

ah ok. apologies i thought you just meant all men in general.
in that case i'd agree, most on here claiming that you can't speak to women for fear of 'omh rape/harrasement' probably struggle with knowing what is and isn't acceptable either in attempted 'courtship/wooing' or just day to day chatting.
i love talking to women and do so at every opportunity (much to my OH's annoyance sometimes
) and have yet to be visited by the police for harrasement. that said, i have had my fair share of 'jog on **** face' in my single days when trying to chat someone up

Nope, it happens in male and male situations too.
Well when she's 'bored of playing' she'll make it known she's no longer interested. Sure there's no handbook but I've literally seen guys get told to **** off and still think the girl is interested or just playing hard to get.
Exactly this - What happened to Aziz was absolutely awful. His career is potencially completely ruined while the unknown woman (who decided to remain anon) gets to live her life like nothing happened (probably richer if she sold the story).

I imagine he doesn't have to do anything... likely got a queue of batcrazy women throwing themselves at him.

How true, talk is so often misinterpreted as rape.
Cavill should stick to working from a script prepared by someone with a brain.

I can't stop thinking about the woman in diddums post
you don't need to think about those things. you just need to be able to conduct yourself in a sensible manner. do you worry about being hit by a car or struck by lightning, probably those things are more likely to happen as getting accused of being a bit rapey (assuming you aren't staring at her with a semi poking out of your dapper plaid trousers)
be honest.......how often and how likely is that to happen? of all the millions of male/female interactions every moment of every day some are bound to go a bit wrong, doesn't mean we should be **** scared to approach, talk to or try and chat women up.
sadly then you are one of those people that really should then limit your interactions with the female of the species
I've not made any arguments relating to the frequency of events and I don't think that having low odds of ending up in such a situation really changes the argument that such a situation can be farcical. I'm not sure it is any comfort to people at the wrong end of these sorts of accusations to know that well they're an exception, especially on US college campuses.

If you are at all rich/famous/known the rules are totally different for sure. You'd have to be extra careful.
Fair point. Of course it's not common. But it does happen.
Does it mean as a guy you don't approach anyone? no
Does it mean you should be more careful these days? yes.
I mean, even I feel a little more careful about things due to the current political climate. Diddums's post is a good example of it.

You should be somewhat wary now as you are a tweet away from being in a social media hell hole. I'm talking about from a perspective of someone who is famous and not just some nobody like myself.
lol at you accusing someone of not having a brain. that's not what he said t all. maybe you forgot the story of a guy accused of raping a girl in a train station even though it was crowded and he was fully clothed etc? so yeah, some skanks can throw the rape word around under ANY circumstances.
Back when we last had a really bad rainy day I drove past a girl in her late teens who had obviously dressed for summer weather.
It's in my nature to stop, ask if they need a lift and drop them at home safe and sound. I've done things like this for years, but now... jesus no.
We've had manhunts in town for less than that, the local facebook group for the town gives all the idiots a voice, and they are never saying anything that's been thought about. It's summer now, I have a tan, beard and dark looks, I daren't go out
lol

lolIncels is what they call themselves now.
The idea that you can't approach a woman "now" because they would scream rape is beyond ridiculous. Maybe you lads need to go out in the real world instead of venting your frustrations on forums and rotting whatever is left in your brains through surfing "alternative" news sites.
there is, to clarify - I was referring to the changes in the way the cases are being dealt with not the numbers of cases themselves

I edited the reply for an easier answer to your persistent pedantry
"Actually there is an easier way to know the difference....when the woman exhibits signs that she is uncomfortable with your "look" - as it's now just turned into a leer."
