9 days agoThe implication of the article is that men fear a woman will have second thoughts and cry rape after the consensual sex is done.
But while this is a risk—albeit unlikely—it’s a smaller risk when compared to actual rape.
What a lot of people are not acknowledging is that men have a social expectation of expressing interest first, and in many ways, that is a privilege.
I get that, but it also seems like there’s a lot of hand-wringing—almost the sense that dudes are entitled to dates.
But getting a date takes work, going in a good date takes work, and keeping the relationship going after that takes work too.
All this takes an investment. And if you aren’t willing to put in the work, nothing will happen for you.
