This is a bit of a nuanced topic so bear with me. This topic is exclusively about platonic interactions with men and women.

If youre a single man its basically expected of you to reciprocate any friendly gesture or engage in conversation with an attractive woman if said woman initiates. If you blow them off or dont keep the conversation going, your sexual orientation and/or social skills come into question immediately. That attractive woman as well as the rest of society expects this straight single man to at the bare minimum, make small talk, be friendly, seem interested, and reciprocate a hug or any platonic touching if this attractive woman engages first.

However, an attractive woman is given the green light to dismiss or shut down even the most innocent light hearted conversations because they dont owe anything to men, according to society. For example, no one would blink an eye if a 10/10 woman was dismissive towards a turbo beard virgin. But if said turbo beard virgin was dismissive of the 10/10 woman, society at large would label him as gay, lacking game, socially awkward, etc. Maybe gamefaqs wouldnt because as a community were more progressive in our way of thinking, but if this scenario was filmed and posted on twitter or instagram the comments would be toxic af.

In short, the top tier attractive woman arent required to display their own social skills, empathy or friendly behavior. But men are required to display these behaviors so long as the attractive woman was the one to initiate. I believe everyone should just be friendly to one another regardless of who they are or what they look like, but reality is cruel and unfair.

So? Why would you care? Tell them you're straight and they're free to think otherwise. If someone would respect you less for being gay then their respect is worthless.

No point in tackling any other problems with your post.

Tired of gay being used as a pejorative or otherwise framed in a context of being a negative quality a person can have. So toxic

In a situation like that, I do think social media would criticize the attractive woman. What I meant by dismissive was lacking interest in a conversation or not exerting effort to keep the conversation going. Classic phrases like cool, good to know, thats awesome, thats crazy. That sort of thing.

Its funny too because a part of this topic is basically an indirect condemnation of toxic masculinity, but CE gonna CE. If its not spoon fed to ya, quickly pile on the TC.

Its a symptom of society. Men and women are both responsible for these social dynamics. Whos to say if its 50/50, 60/40, 70/30 or whatever, but both play their part.

No one actually cares unless it's a problem for them, is the thing. Live in a way that it's not a problem, and you don't have to care. Literally just... consider yourself worthwhile of your own time. I guess that's self respect?

men are 100% to blame for other men having problems throughout history

women were seen as lesser people for how long? occasionally one would roll some good dice and marry a king who was about to die or be born a diety but for most of human history women have just had a terrible time.

I don't have to be a historian to know this just doesn't make any sense. To just squarely put blame on any sex or gender or whathaveyou completely ignores how fucking complicated societal dynamics and evolution is.
