[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Normalizing the idea that both parties can do the asking and that[b] it isn’t the boy’s job to do the asking helps level the dating playing field. [/b]Girls shouldn’t have to be passive spectators, hoping that some guy will ask them to prom. Girls and boys alike should be free to ask and accept or reject as appropriate. [/quote]
What is the dating field that needs to be leveled?
[b]Girl asking boy to a dance is not new[/b]. I believe it's being done since last century. This is 2018.

Yep, that taboo has been lifted decades ago. Yet abuse against girls/women continues.

It isn’t exactly common. There’s still enormous pressure on boys to make the first move, do the asking, pay for everything...and then there’s a subtle message that a girl owes the boy a yes (to the date, to another, to a kiss, to sex) as a result. Meanwhile, girls like one PP daughter are left to orchestrate invitations from boys rather than simply asking the boys themselves. Girls are socialized to be passive recipients of attention while boys are socialized to take all the risks. [/quote]
