An Open Letter To Many Men.

   Dear many men,

   You’re going to have to genuinely believe me when I say that it is almost always significantly more rewarding to be in a woman’s company and not her vagina. If a person of the opposite gender talks to you, smiles at you, laughs at your jokes - it is absolutely fine to accept this as a pleasant human interaction and not a presented opportunity.

   By not learning from people, but rather seeing them only as a chance at temporary base pleasure, you’re engaging in a self-fulfilling prophecy that is hindering and toxic to everyone. If this is so, you will never fully understand that interacting with women in a way that is comfortable, without an intention, is actually awesome and you gain a lot more from that thing.

   Furthermore, if someone isn’t smiling, that is not your business, you have no understanding of their current situation and it is wise to give them space. Also, when someone is wearing something, anything, this is their choice and that is fine. Do not comment unless you are in a situation which deems it appropriate, such as occupying the same interest group, or having briefly met them before, but then be on your merry way - compliments are only compliments without personal gain or intention.

   Whether a person of the opposite gender declines your approach or requests something of you, such as to leave them alone, indulge them. It is only polite and to not heed this warning causes dismay for everyone involved. Them having a boyfriend or an alternative sexual orientation to you is not a part of the current situation, so do not enquire - a reason for the word ‘no’ should never be necessary.

   When you have achieved all of this, do not fret; there are still specific places you can go for casual encounters that involves mutual interest. There will be many opportunities for honest relationships to happen organically (without expectation), as these are also things that many women will want, too, in a less creepy and demoralised way (See: human).

   Congratulations, perhaps in these circumstances you will now achieve a larger amount compatibility, comfortability and most importantly, respect in all aspects of your life. And remember: you are entitled to nothing, respect is earned, and power gives neither of these things.

   Yours sincerely,

   A Man, a person, a friend.

   P.S. Women aren’t exempt from similar negative behaviour, the point of equality is that we should all not be toxic together. Yay!
