Why do we struggle with saying no, or should I say, why do people struggle to hear our no as a full sentence? Almost as if "no" is a bargaining point and not a full stop. Voice memo guy on tiktok is going viral right now, refusing to accept her no, trying to weaponize consent. Obsession is a horror movie where Bear makes a wish to get Nikki to fall in love with him...yet there's many men who relate to this guy and think he did nothing wrong for the whole movie. Graham Platner has just dropped out of the senate race after SA allegations have been made about him for not accepting no. But, did she put up a fight? What about the "law of crying out"? Steven Anderson, a Christian preacher, is teaching teenagers that you don't need consent when you're married. Persistence is how you get the girl, you see? Repeated time and again through our media from Screech, to Urkel, to Jazz never accepting no as kids, she just needs to give him a chance! You HAVE to get what you want. Men have needs! I mean, Summer was the villain in 500 days of Summer... right? Sadly there's too many men who cannot handle rejection well, and it's having disastrous impacts on all of us timestamps: 00:00 intro 03:40 Selfless and rule abiding 09:31 "give him a chance!" 19:54 did she put up a fight? 25:13 coerced expectations 33:47 final thoughts Let's connect: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/BryonyClaire IG: https://www.instagram.com/bryonyclaire_vegan/?hl=en business enquiries only: [email protected] FRIES consent model: https://www.plannedparenthood.org/planned-parenthood-greater-ohio/media/blog-copy-2/would-you-like-fries-with-that-the-5-pillars-of-consent-everyone-should-know Videos recommended: breaking down patriarchy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMnF32GlWss Kat Blaque: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F93WHXewX5c Fundie Fridays: https://www.youtube.com/@FundieFridays Kennie JD https://youtu.be/K3XCXZ7YuMw?si=XaqYKbaAxudWqQiE Olurinatti pop Obsession https://youtu.be/TBumK6ONpcQ?si=un6bdji9oNG4eNT2 Olurinatti Aziz Ansari https://youtu.be/Qfpj5qQr9KA?si=pxtzjHmVyZU_CfcL Studies referenced: girls persist more but divest less from ineffective teaching than boys: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39235895/ https://www.researchgate.net/publication/351698794_Diverse_Sexual_Behaviors_in_Undergraduate_Students_Findings_From_a_Campus_Probability_Survey isolate inebriate coerce https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/08862605261432630  fawn stress response https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10941275/ Books recommended: Rough - Rachel Thompson Know my name - Chanel Miller Short videos referenced: The voice memo: https://www.tiktok.com/@kcuilty8/video/7655171234799373599  Iman: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ-WSn4AdC4/?hl=en  Sources: https://www.psychologytoday.com/nz/blog/the-late-diagnosed-mind/202603/the-late-diagnosed-mind-adhd-and-autism-in-adults https://www.cambridge.org/core/blog/2025/05/14/hollywoods-difficult-women/ https://www.upworthy.com/fresh-prince-of-bel-air-reunion-aunt-viv-difficult/ https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-28/alternatives-to-ghosting-a-match-or-date-and-alternatives/103020154 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role_of_Christianity_in_Western_society https://vawnet.org/news/rejection-killings-dangers-women-face-when-telling-men-no https://www.recoveringgrace.org/2016/01/an-ati-education-final-chapter-guilty-silence/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yk54p7el9o https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-50546184 https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/courts-law/coogee-man-who-forced-down-bumble-date-given-100-hrs-community-service/news-story/986ee8f0db533a3bc99e2114d8f02ed9
