    This is what worries me. Young women with the potential to take significant roles in running the world being made fearful of it.https://twitter.com/jowilliams293/status/908247080988266496 …

    The only danger women face on campus is being made to believe they’re only one wolf-whistle away from sexual abuse. http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/universities-are-not-dens-of-sexual-harassment/20315#.Wbo-kOMnQhA.twitter …

        Hypersensitivity to language. Reading hostility & danger into boorishness or even well-meaning social immaturity is hardly empowering.

        Universities are full of emotionally immature emerging men & women & there is bound to be unintentional upset in their dating strategies.

        Young women are very likely to be hurtful with insensitive rejections of the most respectful approaches & invitations.

        Young men are likely to offer compliments which (many but not all) women find distasteful because they themselves would appreciate them.

        Learning to consider the feelings of the opposite sex requires experience & does entail an understanding that they differ on average.

        It IS scary. When I was younger, I never had the feeling that "patriarchy" held me back; only lack of talent. What happened?

        SocJus. I have a tendency to get apocalyptic about it if I'm not careful.

        Yech! Can't blame you. If there is something "toxic", it is SocJus, not masculinity.

        I'm suddenly reminded of "Gone with the Wind" where relations with the opposite sex were described as "mathematical formulas". 1)

        I know it's cliche, but this is one of my main gripes with modern feminism. It seems obsessed with churning out fear-spreading propaganda.

        My niece is in uni and her friends talk regularly about sexual assault and the "creepy" men they encounter. They want to feel victimized.
