Hello [boring and false men are afraid to ask women out since #MeToo rhetoric] my old friend, I’ve come talk with you again

Today it’s Henry Cavill with “I believe women should be chased”
When did the notion that being chased is a *pleasant* feeling become so universally accepted?

I wish (these types of) men were afraid of overstepping the mark with expressing romantic interest. They’re not afraid of “being thought of” as rapists. They’re unnerved that we are moving to a culture of equal footing in romantic relationships and the old script being thrown out

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if it was literally banned for men to ever approach any women ever, neither sex nor the human race would die out. It’s funny but some scientists these days are claiming women are *sentient* creatures with their own agency. Whatever next

My experience of relationships improved massively once I realised that I didn't want to be chased, I wanted to be respected. It's taken a lot of cultural deprogramming to get me to this point though and I still keep slipping.

You can be chased respectfully js. I don't think you know what chased means.

Let’s not act like there aren’t plenty of women who enjoy being pursued. The issue is guys should pursue people who WANT to be pursued. “The chase” isn’t the problem, unwanted advances is. There’s a difference. Its as simple as asking someone what they’re ok with & respecting it

Hmm...evolution of human sexuality maybe?
He's correct: we do want to be chased.

You’re taking that statement far too literally. It’s an expression used to describe the process of flirting. This shouldn’t have to be explained.

I'm sorry but being chased or pursued/flirted with isn't a bad thing. A lot of women want to be courted. It doesnt have to be a disrespectful thing. You're turning it into something ugly when it generally isn't.
