There are bits of truth in everyone’s posts on the 5 second rule (some more than others, granted).
5 seconds of just staring at someone is a long time but if it were a rule it could be abused or lead to misunderstanding.
Mostly I agree with Jay and mfm that we live in a messed up culture that finds this kind of standard reasonable.
I think many people are increasingly rule-bound in their thinking and that’s a problem.
If any of you have sons, consider helping them show interest in girls in ways other than staring at them. It’s a thin line between bashful and creep.
I think it’s sad that we live in a messed up culture that still encourages victim blaming.
oh ffs. Now because I think 5 seconds is to short a time, I’m victim blaming and/or encouraging victim blaming.
was that post about you?
I’m sure I was included.
