haikupoet: I KNOW, RIGHT? I hate that idiom so much. And what irks me is that I've only heard it used by US citizens or media, where the whole political correctness thing is extreme. You'd think there would be a bigger problem with that than with the word "stewardess" but nooo....
Overkillengine: Technically this is not a rights issue, but a social factor. Though obviously the rights to have sex are there for both genders, the social perspective on what one chooses to do with it is the issue. It doesn't help that promiscuity is a problem in itself for both genders (as it relates to personal values more than anything).

1. Though I understand your referring to the first-date rule out of 50s induced habits, but for the record Marten and Padma are not on a date. They have known each other for some time and interacted extensively, though they have never dated per se, and probably never will. Technically the term for this is a one-night-stand.

Do you think Marten is going to see it that way? Be honest now.
Also, once again, they have not interacted extensively, unless you're including Marten's listening as interacting. Marten has not talked to her about himself until just recently. In fact, one of the strip's where Marten tried to tell her what was bothering him, she just walked away as the punchline.
I don't hate Padma, I just think she's kind of dirty now, like Sven dirty. Some people might like that, whereas I think you should get to know the person a little more. I also don't know why everyone is rooting for Marten to be depressed in the very near future.
Fen:
Marten is an adult and though he might get understandably mopey he should be realistic enough to understand how this is not going to turn into a relationship.
He is mature enough to know that what he feels for Padma is infatuation and that this was an act of lust and nothing more.
And even if he would be immature enough to not comprehend that, why would this make the act any worse from Padma's side? It's not her duty to coddle a guy she barely knows.

Yes, because Marten's not an idiot. He know she's leaving in a few weeks, he knows they don't know each other terribly well, and he went ahead anyway because it's really not that big a frigging deal. They both wanted some fun; they're pals, but not with a deep enough friendship that sex would make awkward. Dammit this is a good thing and you're fucking it up for everyone by making a mountain out of a molehill.
