Cis male here and while I don’t really partake in the dating scene, I figure there’s a lot of social nuance to it. As far as I know, women aren’t “allowed” to make the first move, and so you have to work out if she’s interested in you or not through many subtle cues that are hard to see. And if you get it wrong, you’re either a creep or you’ve missed your chance because she thinks you’re not into her.
Like feminism, could you please empower women to make the first move. My dumb ass is not going to see those signals.
In general though, and I know some people on Lemmyreddit disagree, women get the short end of the stick a lot when it comes to societal norms and laws. It’s frustrating how much internalised misogyny there still is.
