      the Aubrey de Grey thing in particular, but not just that, has me suspecting more that feminism's dual desiderata of sexual emancipation and reduced predation are rather incompatible in practice

      so ok suppose there exist two people contracting and they need to agree on a means of enforcement of that contract they need to figure out how to define a breach, and they may face a tradeoff between what we'll call "verifiability" and "flexibility"https://twitter.com/PageSeverian/status/1425609518310772737?s=19 …

      Not entirely sure what you mean, but maybe I'm unfamiliar with the specifics. Do you see some minimal ways sexual emancipation could have been reduced to lead to a different outcome?

      the tradeoff works like so in this abstraction. ideally the contract might be extremely flexible in what is permitted, to allow action in as many spaces as possible where there might be mutual gain

      but, verifying whether there's a breach in these complex spaces might be hard for a third party so maybe you can sacrifice some flexibility and simply forbid certain actions by one party or both that might be contextually fine but difficult to verify

      if you take if even further you might simply list the action spaces that are acceptable and sanction all actions outside of those spaces

      what is an ideal choice depends on context etc etc but one thing I am fairly confident in is that relatively powerful people ought to be held to a higher standard on the latter. for example "if you are the president and you fuck around with your intern you just are Toast"

      if you are powerful and you are not hewing to Wife of Caesar standards in your personal conduct i have to assume you are either a predator or a goddamn fool

      anyway I don't think this reasoning is tight and this is just a hunch but to the extent sexual liberation makes the strictest behavior standards more difficult to enforce, and reduces the extent to which a third party can verify whether any situation is Bad Actually,

          follow up writing on this more elegantly setting some related things out more clearly than I did i dont know that dwelling on gender differences to the extent the article does is really necessary but the choice/negotiation bits are often helpful. eg https://twitter.com/lndian_Bronson/status/1425620700962955274?s=19 …pic.twitter.com/kJV9O1dlme

          It's worse than that, a sizeable segment of the male population is autistic and has absolutely no idea of the shifting & vaporous social norms of the dating scene.

          They see a couple getting a bit friscky in public, think "this is an acceptable move because others are doing it", they do the same and get hammered for sexual harassment.
