Well to be the devils advocate here, while at the same time bringing some perspective to this issue. Yes men should have the right to the same protection from lets say a female stalker. But lets see the light here, it is well known that males have more of a tendency to stalk then females do and while there can be female stalkers it is not seen as big as a deal because of the physical fact that the average male is stronger physically then the average female, which puts the female at a disadvantage physically in any relationship be it one of intention or ill-intention.

A male who becomes obsessed with a female most likely has the power to rape that woman if he got the chance to while a woman stalking a men would most likely not have the ability to rape the male.

Not that I don't wish to spend more time on this issue but one of the main problems in todays society is male to female abuse and even though it exsists, female to male abuse is much more smaller and tends to be not as dangerous (however it can be fatal like any abuse).

Actually a multi-country study was undertaken to find the REAL breakdown of violence by male and female university students, and the study contradicts popular opinion. The study took place in 32 countries and involved 13,601 students. The results showed that in 68.6% of the cases, BOTH partners were equally violent with each other. In 21.4% of the cases, the female was violent against the male. And in 9.9% of the cases, the male was violent against the female.

As for domestic violence (DV), most people believe that male violence against females account for 90% of all DV cases. When in fact, many studies have been run in Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, and they all show the breakdown of DV at between 55-60% males against females, and 40-45% females against males. This is in complete contradiction to the message fed to society on a daily basis.

I wouldn't mind being stalked by a female. A guy I might get worried.

Having someone like you who you are attracted to is one thing...Having a much older married woman who you are not attracted to, who has 2 kids and a husband, stalking you isn't as fun as you think it would be. Believe me. They can threaten you with physical violence in the form of "friends" they know, or sexually violate you by calling you on the phone and tell you they are masturbating. There are sick people in both sexes, and society needs to open its eyes to this fact. Many issues are not just caused by males, or even male dominated issued.

The problem is society does not see criminal acts the same when they are male vs. female. That is wrong, and that must change. The courts are supposed to be blind, but they are not. They are very sexist, which is against the Canadian Charter of Rights. It is time people woke up to the issue of reverse discrimination that is so rampant in this country. Contact your local MP and tell them "enough is enough". All Canadians deserve the same protection under the law!!!

At the risk of sounding like Bill Clinton here and his "what is - is".....

What does "no" constitute in the original question?

There are degrees of being pursued sexually and of course anyone male or female has the right to say "no"....

But I don't get the question here:

What is the male supposed to be saying "no" to?

If it is a matter of stalking or harrassment or lying or abusing - of course "no" has its place as long as the other party hears it and obeys.

If not either male or female should bring in a third party to get the unwanted behavior stopped.

I have a discussion in "Canadian Politics - Men's Rights" if you want to look into this and other issues.
