Just one example of how you lot twist things around to "fault" the "woman" when it seems to me, men should be sooo much more aware. Well, seems to me, they are NOT!
I'm not quite sure what you are referring to here. All I can think of is the following (recorded in Genius News: Sex and the Sage):
The trouble is, here I was doing the opposite of what you were saying of me, affirming that the girl wasn't really been flirtatious at all. I was actually highlighting the girl's innocence against the malevolent judgments of a pedophile.Philip Wild: Men readily notice the natural sexuality of young girls, which emerges before their boobs do. We just look away and pretend nothing happened.
David Quinn: I dare say that most of the "natural sexuality" you see in young girls is simply a projection on your part. It's true that young girls are often vibrant and coy, but that doesn't mean they are being flirtatious and sexy.
About a week ago, for example, I was in the company of a six-year-old girl. On the surface, she seemed a very flirtatious young thing. She was very outgoing and friendly, and quite touchy in her mannerisms. She was constantly trying to hold hands with me and stroke my beard, and was generally treating me as though I was some sort of male god. From all appearances, she seemed positively charged with sexual energy.
And yet it was easy to see that she wasn't really charged with sexual energy at all, or anything like that. What was really happening was that she was exploring her identity as a female being, and using my "maleness" as a means of doing this. You could tell that she had already discoved the tremendous power that her feminine charms have over men and was happily using them upon me. No doubt she has her dad wrapped tight around her little finger.
Perhaps you are referring to some other incident that I can't recall at the moment?
