Now you've made me curious!

Yes, and it's entrenched poverty and institutionalized racism.

Seriously. Not dissing Hilary Clinton, but Beyonce is the very definition of regal.

You do realize that the bar for "attractive" is a lot higher for women? But seriously, we've been moving in circles since forever. I'm out.

Are you a 27 year old female virign? Who's not only never had sex, but also has never been on a date? Frankly, I'm not entirely convinced you know what you're talking about here.

Those "hi, how're doing"-messages are fairly likely to devolve into "Wanna suck my dick" - "Fucking cunt" as well, if you continue the conversation. Ask me how I know. (Actually, don't.)

Instead we teach girls that they must not send any sexual signal whatsoever unless they're ready to go all the way, because making out with a boy with the full intention to leave it at that makes you a horrible tease and then you have it coming if he gets "gross". As a girl, I just _never_ signalled any sexual…

The young women will get the message that she depreciates like a car, that she gets more worthless with every day that passes. If it takes her till well into her twenties to figure out what she herself might actually want in terms of sex (which orientation, if she wants sex at all), she's shit out of luck, because by…

Well, yes, for women it's not sex per se, but "getting dates". A women who gets no dates faces the same stigma. And as I said, while it might be slightlier easier to find someone to touch your genitals, finding someone who will actually date you poses the exact same amount of difficulty for the conventionally…

"And yet I know that this is almost entirely worse for most women,"

Messages like "Wanna suck my dick?" - "why don't you reply, fucking cunt?" - As I said, you have to be seriously naive, desperately delusional or willfully obtuse to think that the amount of messages of this sort indicates a higher probablity of finding a "love connection". Women with any sort of sense won't derive…

I'm aware of this, I just don't see why it's worse for men. Old unattractive single women don't fare any better.

Well, I've written a very long post why I don't think that's the case, I guess at this point we'll have to leave it at that.

Where on earth do you get the idea that men are judged more harshly for remaining virgins? The "dried up spinster"-stereotype has been used as a nightmare vision to keep girls in line since times immemorial. If you haven't landed a man up to a certain cut-off age you might as well roll over and die as far as certain…

It can be, but only if the person who says that then goes on to use it as a reason for not changing the status Quo, because "it all evens out on balance anyway". I don't feel OP was using it in that way. They acknowledged that while patriarchy hurts men too, it still hurts women more. I don't see any derail in…

Don't be obtuse. Of course I would still tell my daughter not to get black-out drunk and watch for red flags when dealing with new acquaintances. As I would tell my son. The idiocy starts when we expect girls to take more precautions than boys.

Nothing in his manifesto gave me the impression that he would have been capable of viewing any of those hot blonds he felt so entitled too as anything other than a trophy to show off. I mean, I can't look into his mind, but neither can you, and if you just go by what he himself wrote..... he's fixated on hot blonds…

But the same is true for women. No attraction, no love. Unless a girl is very naive or desperately delusional, she will realize pretty soon that "willingness to touch your genitals" doesn't automatically translate to attraction. If anything, these false positives just make it harder.

I realize that I haven't been particularly patient with you with my curt remarks, so I'm reposting a more carefully worded comment from another thread that maybe helps clarify why I think that this is more complicated than the simple pain of rejection and that misogyny has to be a key part of the conversation:

You do realize that "teaching boys not to rape" is supposed to reqire a bit more than just stating "Don't rape people, kiddo."?
