It may not be perceived as such by those who need it most, but this is an amazingly generous offering to all those lonely men. More than that, it is an invitation: join the conversation--but be prepared to listen, and to learn.

Of course it isn't what some want to hear. They want to be told they can do nothing, change nothing, and be given what they want. As you point out, they want passive women who will take an active role in seeking and seducing them. Hilarious, but sad.

The anti-feminist players--the ones the lonely losers see as their competition--are a problem, yes. For everyone. Because consent, in their minds, is a speedbump on the road to sex. But in truth, consent is the name of the journey, the glorious process of getting to the yes together. Building mutuality and trust, not getting over.

As some wag said, "Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it."
