Pretty advanced misogyny to personify octopuses and then blame the “women” octopuses for rejecting sexual advances.
non-sapient animals have no concept of consent, people reveal their prejudices by what intent they read into their behaviors.
To be fair, pelted by silt and rocks is the actual no - octopi can’t speak.
Their entire skin is covered in chromophores that constantly show their emotional state.
I’m assuming the male octopus knows plenty well.
I’ve never seen an octopus spell “no” either. Presumably due to Black Swan effect.
Human males too
Throwing rocks is “catty”? First time I’ve heard that one

Those are often “prop” bricks that are light enough to carry effortlessly. The handbags otoh weigh as much as the real one.
