Well, no. Then you'd have to keep getting married and divorced unless you only wanted to have sex with one person for your entire life. I think most women would prefer unwanted advances that having that expectation on them. You know, because of the wanted ones. https://twitter.com/YeyoZa/status/953266858337144832 …
Yeah, I think women have to take that risk tho. I don't like the idea that they shouldn't be expected to. Social norms should just change so they don't have to make difficult choices around sexuality.

Agreed. But a multi-pronged approach is better than demanding change from just one gender. Relationships are systems and all players have a role. Better communication skills around consent and better self-knowledge key, esp. for young women.

I agree. That would be my position and my problem with both that article and the 'teach men not to rape/harass/pressure'' approach.

Yes. It's provocative for the ideas it raises, but is hugely impractical, as is the latter part of your sentence there. The article did actually make me feel nostalgic when I first read it, but of course reality set in. It's all about adjustments.

I straddled two very different eras. I grew up with the no default and yet struggled with the yes default myself as it was coming into being. Going back to no is inconceivable, but what we've got is something of a mess too. The Ansari debacle is common.
