Yea, honestly, as a feminist, I think this is reasonable and healthy. How many long term relationships really result from drunken hookups? It’s just an exercise in risky behavior with a complete stranger when your judgement is impaired.
Sex is an extreme example, but now consider the cases of opening up a bit; showing emotional vulnerability; taking that first step of trust; telling that special someone you actually do love to play with Lego.
All of these carry the same risks for all involved - the social ramifications of a failed attempt to bond is somewhat higher than in our current “clout hunting” era (remember, clout doesn’t just exist online).
Relationships are complex critters - some are built on risk, some are built on the aversion of such, and some are built upon a complex dance between the two (for what is life but a twistedly beautiful lottery)?
