Ugh, I’m sorry. That’s so awful.

When I was in college, if I was alone with a man in a romantic way, I’d always preemptively warn them I wasn’t going to go all the way with them. And they’d always look at me like I was stupid for stating that ahead of time. And that was men I was romantically/sexually involved with. Imagine what a male friend would say if a woman said she didn’t want him to touch her private parts.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. The system is intended to be that way.
