If women want to be seen as sexual agents in this age where most of the reproductive risks and costs to them have been mitigated by modern technology, they have to stop denying they have sexual agency. And they really need to grow a pair, and talk themselves out of behaving like they live in the goddamn Victorian age, where women were so at the mercy of their biological vulnerability, that a double entendre from the wrong man could earn him a beating.

Because it might come as a shock to a lot of people: we don’t live there anymore. In this reality, in this environment, with womens’ fertility on total lockdown if they so desire, and men facing legally enforceable hundred thousand dollar baby mortgages when THEY have an ‘oops’, our instincts are actually diametrically opposed to our current relative risks and costs.

And all this female bitching over a few appreciative glances, or the thought that a guy you wouldn’t have anything to do with might be jerking off with an image of your tits in his mind - it all needs to stop.

If feminism wants women to be taken as seriously as mens’ equals, then it’s women who are going to have to do the adjusting for a change. And that means not calling for her smelling salts whenever some guy tells her she’s pretty.
