Touch some grass dude, humans flirting with each other in public has been happening literally forever. “Oh let’s give control one of the most basic core human activities over entirely to a handful of dating app corporations” my man, go outside

    Very good effortpost comrade, thank you for this. My main question is what do we do about that? How do we implement these ideas into how we interact personally and as a society? Because like you said “”the logical outcome of metoo means no flirting ever” sounds like a right wing persecution fantasy“ and obviously can’t and shouldn’t be the answer. Obviously you are not required to have the answer to that I’m just curious if you have any thoughts

      My main question is what do we do about that?

      no clue but i think having a surface-to-surface missile cannon imbedded in my forearm at all times would be pretty helpful :samus:

      real solution is let the women initiate in straight relationships :shrug-outta-hecks: men ive initiated on seemed genuinely happy and into it and i cannot say the same for all the guys that initiate with me, in fact i detest it

        That sounds like a decent idea in theory, but in practice, it's not a great solution. Like it or not, we still live in a patriarchal world, and men are still expected to initiate in hetero relationships, and the vast majority of hetero women aren't lining up to change this particular gender role.

          and the vast majority of hetero women aren’t lining up to change this particular gender role.

          Somehow its women's fault for not freeing themselves single handedly from this gender role while men are still actively maintaining this gender role.

          "Nice plan, but the patriarchy exists didn't think about that huh." :very-intelligent:

      if i asked you what i should personally do about imperialism, you'd tell me to join a party and get organised.

      for feminism im telling you to join a party and get organised. feminism is a political programme. read the theory, discuss with comrades, implement the praxis.

      want a world where femmes aren't gonna feel threatened by you? we gotta make it so, together :solidarity:
