If they don’t answer, it means no.

This is a cop out and a blanket statement to excuse men for crap behavior. Time to hold men accountable for their behavior. No more "that's just how guys are".

Yep, just more excuses for men so they don't have to actually treat others with respect.

I agree with the comments saying that guys should not be given a pass for bad / rude behaviour simply because they’re male. This attitude is largely to blame for the rampant sexual harassment and assault situation that is currently in the headlines. “Boys will be boys” is just not going to work any longer!

You've heard of the woman's prerogative? Guess what,guys have it too. And besides,if a guy replies too quickly,you'll think he's needy and will ghost him.
Or maybe you're not the 10/10 Awesome Princess that you think you are....

Please. Let's hold women accountable for writing yes/no fucking dumbass emails, and getting bent out of shape when they are not immediately answered. It's passive aggressive behaviour. Men are tired of it.

Women ignore me all the time, is that rude? Am I supposed to hold women accountable for their "crappy behavior" because they don't want to talk to me? Guys are allowed to reject women, if you can't handle it talk to a therapist.

Oooh, just a splash of toxic masculinity and male fragility to counter that supposed misandry? So, you're scared of rejection and playing some bizarre waiting game to seem more unattainable and then to make yourself feel better about the possible negative outcome by preemptively insulting the girl to make the blow a bit softer? Wowza, lose my number before you even ask for it. I hope I never get your email.

communicating with *some* women and I suppose men too can be difficult. My experience continues to show that you can say one thing, but they 'hear' something completely different. I find I need to think extra long and hard about what to write to try and make sure the point is made clearly without offending or having something read into it that isn't there. Sometimes it just isn't worth the effort.

@Misandry Central I don't know a single woman who would agree with that sentiment. Prompt responses show interest and respect.
