I am noticing that men are not approaching as much as they used to a good solution is that men and women should approach the same amount. The idea that men approach “first” is outdated. If you like a guy, tell him. Don’t wait for him to approach first

but like the topic was men approaching and it suddenly into what women have to do? why do we have to do something to make up for men not doing anything?

🤦‍♀️ “Men approach, women react” I said THAT DYNAMIC where men are the ones making the first move is stuck in the 1950s and is the problem. Instead of an outdated view of gender, we should not have stupid rules about who approaches first. I’m criticizing the gender norm.

right but that could’ve been done in a better way. like this just feels like redirecting an active choice men are making to a problem women have to clean up. and there’s more to it than just who’s approaching who. they don’t respect us listen to the news see what’s going on around us look online.

You think suggesting that women approach men is a problem? How about you stop and ask yourself why you have such an issue with that suggestion? There is no issue with what I suggested. Your misinterpretation of what I wrote is not my problem, and I will not apologize to you or take what I wrote back.

didn’t ask for an apology or for you to take back what you wrote. i think you’re the one who’s not understanding what i’m saying. i literally agreed with your point about changing the norm but you can’t even see what im saying.

How do you want me to say “women should approach men”? How does your little perfectly written post sound, huh? Write it yourself for me to hear how ✨perfect✨ your writing is. I pointed out a problem. I offered a solution. What other solution do you have?
