This still puts men in the position of risking everything, including their job and future, by asking for a date. Until legal situations change and men don’t live with a guillotine hanging over their neck at all times waiting for the slightest mistake, risk-taking is unlikely.

You’re not wrong. Men taking risks has been the foundation of our species’ courtship. And yet, modern political realities turn the risks from humiliation to loss of job, loss of social status, and a plummet into despair. Even if this is not the outcome every time, men fear it.

The question used to be “Is this woman interesting enough to risk humiliation?” Now he question has become “Is this woman interesting enough to risk my entire life and everything I care about?”

I agree that you are, and I’m glad for it. But most men are not socially adept enough to tell the difference, they develop learned helplessness and run away altogether. That leaves a tiny sliver of highly aggressive men vying for the majority of all women.

And yet... have you seen the slew of new relationship and vague harassment laws taking effect in California and Ireland in 2019?

Exactly what I mean. We just need to find a way forward. Women obviously don’t want to wear a flashing light on their forehead that lights up when they’re aroused, but men often are too daft to understand any other way...
