1. OP vs. Comments: Source of Discord?
The OP: I read it in a literal, straightforward manner and I noted that Jeremy describes reciprocal opportunities and downsides to dating. I was quite hard on Jeremy in my original post; in my effort to illustrate some of my objections, I used examples — examples Jeremy believes show us to be on the same page. The same page would, to me, disagree with the OP. Namely, I do not think that men and women equally assume responsibility for dating or relationship success (there is no equivalent to AFBB for men); I do not think women have to assume responsibility for relationship success (they have the law and culture on their side, and know it);
I do not think men and women equally absorb risk in the SMP. Therefore I struggle mightily to accept this sentence from the OP:
“From there, individuals with comparable value and interest can “court”.” Or this sentence: “In fact, their advice is two sides to the same coin.” Throughout he expresses as well his confidence in the existence of some sort of intersexual level playing field; this is affirmed in his use of words such as “both”, “equally”, “comparable”, or the phrase “two sides to the same coin.”
I believe this is where the discussion jumps the rails and some of us lose our shit — not at Jeremy’s reasonableness of tone and intent, and not because we question his motives. It jumps the rails because his very discussion describes a level playing field in which people of like mind and equivalent impulse, if they are careful and tiptoe through the dating landscape like a scout approaching a ‘dead dog’ (i.e., booby-trapped carcass) on the side of a road in AfPak, reach a place of calm and mutual support. No. This is where I, and, for example, brother Ton, break out in hives.
