I don't get it. Yesterday you made a post about how you never do anything in the initial stages of a relationship with a man because why risk getting sexually assaulted if you have to pay for the food or something ... but that's the definition of treating everyone like an option. It goes both ways.

Edit: Genuinely just curious, this isn't meant to be insulting.

(sigh) This meme is referring to a woman in a relationship with a man, not a date, and doesn't apply to men, since having an indifferent girlfriend doesn't possibly endanger their lives and futures.

@birdingnut I think the meme is open to interpretation, but I see where you went with yours. Thanks!

@Xuande You live in a white male bubble, with no notion what women go through or what dangers they could face just meeting a man for a date. A man sexually assaulted me on a second date-to a movie, and he was the nephew of a church friend, and "good Christian." Men don't have to worry about women sexually assaulting them, or following them home and killing them.

@birdingnut Thank you for telling me how I live. Thanks again.

However, I do find this line of thinking a little sexist. Men can be raped. Men can be sexually assaulted. Women are perfectly capable of that, and murder.

No, I reject the notion that women are frail and weak creatures incapable of committing evil deeds.

I am not arguing men do not do it more. I'm not arguing that statistically men are more capable of these things physically. Because they do. And they are.

But this attitude hurts men who have been raped, who already come forward at a fraction of the percentage of women. And it underrates the potential of women.
