@kaajinsfc@timmyturner1337@saiseihime a woman can say the same thing and not evoke such feelings because, in our society's narrative, her wanting is not "soiled" by threats of violence and her "duties as a woman" aren't lessened by not getting a gal pal.
@kaajinsfc@timmyturner1337@saiseihime so! in a world where we are sold the idea that women are things to be conquered, a guy saying some pathetic stuff will sound more pathetic because we live in a society where that is seen as an inadequacy. It evokes pity, a duty unfulfilled.
