What counts as high quality cocaine and heroine? What counts as high quality self harm?

The government (mostly men in power) regulating (same as cultural traditions and laws that regulated dating and sexual behavior) regulating dating apps (enforcing norms on coupling)

You are right. We all know if this thread was a woman complaining about how a guy sweet talked her into bed and then ghosted and she felt used he wouldn’t be calling her a whiner and saying she should accept and adapt to the current model because her ideas may not be ideal. This is exactly how what they call patriarchal conditioning largely was, only men were active players and they were expected to suck it up. They cloak it in liberalism but want to maintain that. It’s just absurd and can’t sustain since they want to undo part of the equation, the limits and traditions regarding women. At this point the only way to have these conversations is to use word games to frame everything like it is somehow detrimental to women and helps men. They simply cannot process a balanced equation, Say you make a nuanced argument about how hook up culture causes problems for men by deregulating womens behavior. Theyll be triggered by you bringing up anything that men don’t like and any responsibility placed on women. But say the same thing but frame it as men manipulating women and how hook up culture harms women, they’ll accept the argument. I see feminists now calling hook up culture patriarchy and using the same arguments conservatives did in the 90s just framed the other way. If you made the same core argument from this thread but just framed it as how her on the dating app helps men get what they want at her expense the exact same people who would argue with you will be agreeing with you.

This would be the patriarchy that you rail against btw.

This woman is evil. I remember Hila’s parents were against her marrying Ethan. They were right.

Studies find relationships formed from dating apps on average have less satisfaction.

If I was I wouldn’t be slobbering over Ethan Klein no matter what you say, that’s for sure
