Yeah, they can. What's being talked about here goes beyond that, though.
The dating problem stems mostly from how men have been painted as potential rapists and plenty of other issues the MGOTW crowd would probably be all too happy to go over with you about. Women have been posing nude and doing a lot more for a camera for a lot longer than that. The internet simply makes it more accessible and easier for someone to start up their own small business, so to speak.
But that isn't what's being talked about, though. What's being talked about is women (and apparently specifically women) being essentially blacklisted for life because they posed nude (because mostly that's what OF is, if it even goes beyond teasing nudity). The person I am responding to doubles down on it even by holding himself to a different standard.
Did you see any of that even brought up in this conversation?
Which is the main source of the problem.
And frankly a lot of the price is thanks to people just being assholes.
Be a pretty asshole thing to do no matter who does it, depending on the context, of course. If someone can't handle it, I could understand that. But acting like they need to wear a scarlet letter or something, and are a lesser person, that's just being an asshole.
This isn't a deal-breaker for everyone, you know. There's also nothing wrong with discretion (something the Left has trouble with on this topic).
No, that's just being an asshole. Rules for me but not for thee. This is part of why I roll my eyes at you when you say you pity me and try to claim you have higher standards. Seems to me that I hold myself to a higher standard than you do, simply by virtue of the fact that I do not expect out of others what I do not expect out of myself.
I would certainly rework things. I don't know if I'd cut it completely simply because in some cases, like one of the parents being killed, that would be like kicking someone when they are down. But I would certainly rework things to encourage both parents being in the picture rather than the way things are now to basically encourage single mothers staying single.
