no means no

Among guppies, the males are the ones with the colorful displays on their bodies and the females have the plain appearance. Males are rather demanding in their sexual desires. If persistent courtship doesn't pay off, they'll try rape instead. The poor females, as recently discovered, do whatever it takes to get away from the pesky males.

Outside of aquariums, in their native rivers, females will congregate in risky areas populated with predators. The males, being all colorful and obvious, make easy targets for some bigger fish's meals and so the males tend to stay away. So, by taking on some small risk to their own lives, the females are finally able to get some peace and quiet.

Let the metaphorical lessons begin.

In a continuation of this morning's topic, I notice that a male judge (in Russia) states as part of his decision to throw out a case filed by a female who claimed that she was sexually harassed in the workplace...

 “If we had no sexual harassment we would have no children.

He's being serious.
