Women regulate their sexuality hard every day. Just like men can be as deeply emotional as women, women can be as deeply sexual as men.

The reality is the patriarchal constructs and the forced gender and sexual assumptions that get shoved on us every day.

Don't let them gaslight you or other women or friends/sisters/daughters into thinking like this. If a man or person shoves this down your throat, treat it like a red flag that they are people projecting trauma that won't make them a good friend or partner.

On the flip side, if a man stares or gawks but doesn't go into deep creep fest, don't write him off either.

If it is a guy you could be interested in return, make the first move (think about how women give men signs to come her). But only do so if you feel safe and secure ...
