There’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for this behavior on the part of some women: the cooties have sucked out their brains.
I think Dr. Helen’s advice is useful. In a man’s case, at least, a lot depends on delivery and follow-up. If you can convince them that you’re serious – but not too serious – and that failure to comply with your request will have consequences, you may be able to change women’s behavior. I would say don’t make it appear as a “men’s rights” issue; most people have been educated to believe only women need to stand up for their rights. When a man does it, it confuses them.
In the end, it’s all just human rights.
