One topic in gender issues that I rarely see discussed

[Major Nikon]

1. It's easier to criticise the other end of that dynamic rather than trying to solve any problems

Men have the power of initiation, in that they get to choose who they attempt to initiate a potential relationship with. For this they are criticized, because women don't have this power. The problem is it never really works this way. Certainly some men will choose to initiate unsolicited, and will generally face a high rejection rate. Most men will simply wait for a que to initiate to lessen their chances of rejection, while women who offer those ques retain the real power of initiation without any fear of rejection.

Internet dating seems to have solved some of these problems. You'd think men would be the ones complaining about internet dating because it robs them of pretty much all of their perceived power, yet I don't know any who have.
