I just wish that Lois wouldn't dig her own holes and then blame Clark when she fell in them. She sends off don't-touch-me vibes and then blames Clark when he doesn't touch her. Similarly she gives him the cold shoulder and blames Clark when he doesn't talk to her.
I agree with Elisabeth here. This smacks too much of the terrible games that some women play: "I know I said 'yes,' but couldn't you tell I really meant 'no'?" However, I disagree with Elisabeth here, at least in part:
Also, it's high time that Clark beligerantly didn't give Lois what she asks for when she silently says don't touch me; don't talk to me.
For at least a generation, we have tried to train men that a woman's "no" means no. He can't just ignore her "no, don't touch me" when he isn't privy to her thoughts. However, he does need to talk to her even when she's shutting him out, at least by telling her how he feels or what he's thinking.
