Okay. I'm a teacher, so let me say this in a way everybody can understand.
If you ask me for $5 and I say no, but you take it out of my purse anyway, that's stealing.
If you ask me for $5 and I'm too drunk to either say yes or no, but you take $5 from my purse anyway, that's stealing.
If I give $5 to your friend, so you decide that gives you the right to take $5 out of my purse, that's stealing.
If I gave $5 to you yesterday, so you decide to take $5 out of my purse today, that's stealing.
If I'm flashing hundred dollar bills on the street, just really flaunting how much money I have, so you decide to take $5 out of my purse, that's stealing.
If I tell you I'll give you $5, but then, while reaching into my purse to get it, I change my mind and say actually no, but you decide to take the $5 anyway, that's stealing.
If you hold a gun to my head and force me to give you $5, even if I physically reach into my purse and hand you the $5 without another word, that's stealing.
If no one has ever given you $5, and you can see I have extra money in my purse, so you take $5, that's stealing.
If we're married, and you ask for $5 and I say no, but you decide to take $5 out of my purse anyway, that's stealing.
If you say "God gave me $5" and then take $5 out of my purse, that's stealing.
If you're my boss, and you tell me you'll fire me if I don't give you $5 right now, that's stealing.
If you want $5, and I reach in my purse and only give you $1, but you reach in while the purse is open and take $5 anyway, that's stealing.
If you pretend to be my friend in the hopes that being my friend will someday lead to me deciding to give you $5, you aren't actually my friend. And if you take the $5 you were expecting to get for pretending to be my friend, that's stealing.
The reason all men can easily understand this, and that there are no "grey areas" in stealing $5, is that men value $5 more than they value a woman's body.
