I'm not the one who uses Linux unironically like you do.

It'd be worse if I used it ironically, wouldn't it?

You say that like it's a bad thing. Shitlords like to stare at a good internet trash fire and laugh as it burns, it's a lot of fun. Having fun is part of enjoying life, maybe you should do more of that instead of displaying fake to win Brownie Points with blue haired autists on Tumblr?
What's it like being the personification of a headache?

What even is this?
It's like a rejected Gilfoyle joke.

To quote the article:
The Man of Steel actor Henry Cavill has drawn severe criticism for comments about the #MeToo movement and rape in a new interview.
Cavill, who is currently promoting the forthcoming action film Mission: Impossible – Fallout, was speaking to GQ Australia when the interviewer asked how #MeToo had affected him.
“Stuff has to change, absolutely,” Cavill said, before adding: “There’s something wonderful about a man chasing a woman … I think a woman should be wooed and chased, but maybe I’m old-fashioned for thinking that.”
“It’s very difficult to do that if there are certain rules in place. Because then it’s like: ‘Well, I don’t want to go up and talk to her, because I’m going to be called a rapist or something.’”
“Now? Now you really can’t pursue someone further than, ‘No’. It’s like, ‘OK, cool’. But then there’s the, ‘Oh why’d you give up?’ And it’s like, ‘Well, because I didn’t want to go to jail?’”
Social media users have been quick to castigate Cavill for his views. One Twitter user suggested Cavill was “absurd” and that “if he doesn’t want to be called a rapist then all he has to do is ... not rape anyone.” Another asked: “When did the notion that being chased is a pleasant feeling become so universally accepted?”
I don't see what was wrong with what he said. Is it just me? There'd be quite a few in Hollywood scared to even make a move on someone after recent events. Is that absurd? Of course it is, but I'm sure some do (as he does).

Probably the part where he complained about having to stop chasing a woman after she said "no", justifying it with the notion that somehow "No" actually means "Keep trying" and not "No".
He's really saying "Oh, you're just lying about 'No', and you actually want to be chased, even if you said No" and then wondering why he would be called a rapist.

it's 2018, plenty of women make the first move. I agree with Henry Cavill , your chase needs to end asap as you don't know if she is playing hard to get. better safe than sorry.

Okay, maybe your position
was misrepresented. Careful that you're not just going to dig yourself deeper, though, lol.

Umm... Good. Duh. Especially if we're talking about co-workers, FFS.

Now that's
quite the hyperbolic strawman. You're not going to get called a rapist just for approaching someone new and talking to them. It's when you're unwilling to take 'no' for an answer that things start looking...unconsensual.

When was it that a "no" stopped being a "playing hard to get"? In my experiences growing up there was A LOT of girls who played hard to get. Treating it as a game of sorts to try and get guys to impress them. Obviously a stern/aggressive "NO" is definitely a no, but when that's not the case, it's not always so clear cut.
I know many guys that enjoyed the chase to try and get them to change their mind. Note that I'm not justifying rape, or guys sexually assaulting women. Life's not all black and white that's all. Some like the chase, some are more straight up. It does make things confusing at times. I'm sure there are many here across both sexes that eventually dated someone who initially told them to bugger off. Such is the fun in life of changing someones mind on you. I just see it as that this is all something that is not always clear cut. We're not robots, we all come in different shades, all express ourselves differently and like/dislike different things. Plus we try to attract the opposite sex + like different things from those who make moves in our direction.
If we just say up is up and down is down (in this context) then that's not really true as to use a line from a Steven Wilson song "Truth is individual calculation, which means because we all have different perspectives, there isn't just one single truth is there".
