    I struggled with this for a while. A woman saying she wants emotional honesty does not mean she swears to still find you attractive regardless of what you reveal. She just has a feeling of unease and wants that to go away. So, reassure while maintaining sophistication and intrigue.

      There is nothing to ‘struggle with’. It’s hypocrisy, plain and simple.

      Racists also hide behind their ‘feelings of unease they want to go away’. that doesn’t make them not racists, it’s actually what defines them as racist, because the difference of race is what causes the feeling of unease.

      What you want to do, is just perpetuate sexist hypocritical bullshit. Because it ‘feels good’.

      what if there was something more important than someone’s feelings of attraction? or their feelings of attraction were rooted in sexist racist bullshit?

      all you have to do is flip this around. if a woman opened up to me about her feelings, and i found that unattractive, would that be acceptable for me to reject her for it and call her names or tell her she is not ‘really a woman’? or would it make me a horrible person?
