They see it as unsafe. Which it is.

It's not like women aren't taking long hard looks at whatever tall drink of water (as the expression goes) passes by. They distance flirt, etc.

More want equality on this front than you seem to think, based on their behavior. But they don't feel safe doing so and for the most part they're right to feel that way.

Most women do not have my physical strength. They did not have a dad who was special forces and taight them how to take a guy down. They don't have a dog who will go straight for the crotch if a guy steps over the line. They're not mentally, emotionally, physically, or financially prepared for the aftermath of defending themselves. And let's be real here. There will be consequences of doing so. You're foolish if you think otherwise. They've been gaslit and groomed their whole lives to embrace, emulate, and find security in physical weakness as a means of protecting themselves from aggressive men. They don't have the luxury of not considering how their every choice and action may or may not affexr their children and family.
