I saw a young woman on Youtube,
complaining that men today didn’t
try hard enough after a woman
rejected their advancements. She
said her father asked her mother
out many times before she accepted.

My response to her would have been
what you describe is like a stalker.
And no should mean no without a man
trying to force a woman to go out with
him by pestering her over and over.

And most women would complain if
a man today kept pestering them and
probably would feel the need to call
the police to get rid of the stalker.
