the difference between now and my mothers era are substantial - women were routinely committed to psychiatric institutions for a variety of spurious reasons, they did the best they could to manage a family, no contraceptive so had what they had, were expected to be available on demand, jobs weee closed. In the public service as soo. As a woman married she was required to stop work.

ghosting is actually easier and more sensible in some cases. mobile phones and lots of ways of contacting people leave one vulnerable to pests. Sometimes people don’t get the hint. In our day it still required letters and phone calls. Didn’t you ever not take a phone call from someone. I sure did.

abc if equal pay causes a problem then that tells us lots about both sexes.

my question is anyway. Does it really matter.

I never take the easy way out in these things. May be a genuine difference between the sexes.

A good command of the English language makes it easier to turn someone down without unduly insulting them. For example from my 16 year old days when asked out by one of the girls I turned her down saying "it would not be fair to you when I like someone else more." If a 16 year old can manage that then adults should cope on their ears.

I am the first to agree there is a % of bad men I just mention at the same time that the same applies to the female gender.

I simply do not allow yesteryear to be an excuse for bad behaviour today.

Woman got the vote without the requirement to go to war. Unfairness can always be found if you want to look for it.
