A woman, at best, coincides. She pantomimes synchronicity with the atomic clock of male desire. Every second counts. If you are fast, you're a slut. If you are slow, a prude (and one day a hag). We lick our lips when you are too young and sneer when you are too old. For some years in your twenties, you’re both.
Woman have empowered themselves into a form of slavery that while not the same as a man's, is seemingly more encompassing than the man's. Hey women, we men are the original slaves, please get in your lane, and stop taking all the slave positions from us!
All our attempts at individual empowerment are misguided and lead us to box ourselves into new identities that we eventually have to break out of again and again, while others benefit from us temporarily boxing ourselves in.
Jaime reached for the flagon to refill his cup. "So many vows...they make you swear and swear. Defend the king. Obey the king. Keep his secrets. Do his bidding. Your life for his. But obey your father. Love your sister. Protect the innocent. Defend the weak. Respect the gods. Obey the laws. It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or the other.” - George R. R. Martin
"On a date, your sexual intentions should be concealed until the man chooses the moment (he will find anything else repugnant.)"
I've always found this sentiment confusing. I've heard other other men feeling this way (e.g. being turned off by a woman's forwardness) and had a hard time relating. There's only one time I can recall being on a date when the woman took a sexual escalation step AHEAD of me and I was thrilled! Maybe I'm misinterpreting the dismaying part about things like that for other men.
