I have been more selective about who I see. Again, this re-iterates my point that neither the power dynamics nor the risks or costs are the same for men and women. You haven’t been a woman to my knowledge, so you haven’t experienced men’s behavior toward women in the same way I as a woman have.

Women are sexual beings too, and in a culture where monogamy and even puritanicalism has informed our society, where nonetheless sex sells and advertising uses sex appeal to sell, women are taught that it’s wrong to capitalize on sex. At the same time, we have the rise of hook up culture and dating app culture that lower men’s expectations, increase their sense of entitlement, and have generally made the whole venture of dating more risky, costly, and without real reward for women.
As a woman, I am asking for some level of courtship and basic respect.
Shouldn’t be too much to ask for.
