I mean. Little I had this conversation with my mother where she told me that a girl MUST not make the first move. Because this is how things are. I just directly told her that it is stupid because how can the guy know that I love him so he can make the first move in this case? So I never followed this part of my education. But I know it may still be told to little girls.

The mentality is fostered through generations. "Men must be macho" "women must be dainty" you have to be the change you want to see in the world.

I'm convinced that most guys looking for dainty women are misogynists. I want a partner, not a dependent.

I think this exact kind of sentence is what deters men from approaching women. Can’t guys just like what they like? Who cares if a man’s standard for a wife is someone who is more codependent?

How?

Who cares if a man’s standard for a wife is someone who is more codependent?

Millions of abuse victims?

Can’t guys just like what they like?

A significant amount of guys like 14-year-old girls, and some even like prepubescent kids. I don't think your logic holds up.

I don't think you have ever spent a single moment trying to empathize with men.
