I feel like asking for consent in general has been really misunderstood /overblown. If people had the ability to read social cues it wouldn't be such a big problem, but autism has become very prevalent in the average person to the point that they can't tell when it's appropriate to sexually touch another person.

My husband didn't ask for consent last night, I guess I was raped.

I don't buy the whole "wah double standard for men 🥺" thing because it's the male version of whining feminists.

That's not really a logical thought because it being "whiny" does not make it true or false. Unless what you mean to say is you will deny that it exists because you have no sympathy. Which is most women's stance, but you should be honest about it.

I think feminists and men's rights activists are both missing the mark on a lot of issues and refusing to understand the opposing viewpoints. While I do think that both are whiny, that isn't my reasoning behind disagreeing with them.

I actually really disagree that "most women" have that stance - most women cater to men's feelings because they are attempting to be socially desirable. It might not seem that way if you're looking at a group of libs on a college campus, but that's not exactly a representative sample of the population..
