Comment on That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why?

Women are avoiding men. For all sorts of reasons that I think most of you are aware of.

Women also are feeling like they have the ability to refuse when before they didn’t.

Women are also scared of pregnancy in a way they haven’t been since the fecking 1900s.

Because now, you get pregnant. A doctor will let you die before they will provide medical care if that medical care has any chance of harming a fetus. Even if the fetus is dead.

Women are dying from pregnancy. Women are no longer able to terminate an early pregnancy safely.

Women are scared.

I realize not every sex encounter is a man and woman. But most of the population is hetero.

It’s a huge turn off to be with someone who thing you are lower than them. Who thinks you don’t deserve basic human rights.

While I don’t disagree with this theory, I wonder why you would think that this is a recent development.

  The awareness is relatively recent. “The woman place is in the kitchen” is not an old thing.

    Perhaps there is a comfort in expressing these beliefs now when before there was not?

Can I also add in stress and other environmental factors?

I don’t know… While this certainly has made a comeback in the last couple of years (thanks to rise of fucking Nazi shits all over the world), there has been a positive development.

I actually believe it has more to do with the ever increasing “efficiency” at work and addictive media (YouTube, social media, Netflix, etc.). People just don’t have time for sex anymore, because there are quicker ways to get your dopamine fixed. This is also why people don’t go out and socialize anymore. Social media is actually very antisocial.

Are you basing this on dating app matches? It might be a case of survivor bias

To elaborate, what’s possibly happening is that only the assholes of society are the ones having a disproportionate level of exposure/influence on these apps because the good ones cycle out of it quickly enough when they find their viable partners. And then these assholes, who in fact represent a minority of the actual population, end up staining everyone else’s opinions by making them think these people are the majority of peoples’ behaviours.
