Too subtle, I'm afraid. Showed the videos to many men, they did not "compute". They are against sexual harassment, but couldn't relate. I had to explain...therefore, it missed your point. Please try again...

Sounds like you need to know better quality men

You really want to pee. You see something that looks like the thing they taught you to pee in since you were a little kid. -> You go and pee. You really want to have sex. You see someone that society tells you it's ok to have sex with (I mean society expects men to have sex with women, not other men or animals). -> You go and have sex with her. I think the metaphor is great, because anyone would agree that you can't just pee in every toilet you see, even if you reeeeally need to pee or you'll piss your pants :P You need to find the right toilet, you could knock on someone's door and ask for consent to use their toilet, but they can say "no". For me the toilets in the hardware store could be the metaphor for little girls (you just can't "use" them, don't even try to ask if you can), and any toilet in a stranger's house would be an adult woman. And your own toilet is masturbation :D

no it doesn't mean it's a bad one. it just means you hang out with fucking morons :)

[@s0nicfreak]

Uhhhhh... CAN she just stop peeing though? Not everyone can so that's not really a good example.

[@foodbucketjesus]

So, the whole concept of victim blaming just went right over your head? Like all the way over?

[@krysiak2053]

Sure, so you don't start peeing whenever, you go find a proper toilet.

This was an analogy for a situation where a guy thinks a woman is giving him go-ahead signals but then after foreplay has begun, she says no. The bladder infection was an analogy for blue balls. The point the video is trying to make is, even if everything is just out on display, even if the person thinks they are getting the go-ahead, we should expect a person to stop if the other person says "no" *at any point. Yes, I get it. And it's BECAUSE I get it that I think this is not a good example; it's not reasonable to expect someone to stop peeing if they read the signals wrong, think they have found a proper toilet, and begun peeing but then the other person says "no". I guess *my* point went over *your* head. This example just BACKS UP the argument that sex is an unstoppable biological urge that will result in negative health reproductions if stopping is attempted; because urinating actually IS an unstoppable biological urge that will result in negative health reproductions if stopping is attempted, while sex isn't. Everyone can stop having sex in the middle if the other person says no; not everyone can stop urinating in the middle.
