Power imbalances and sex
This articulates something that feels quite truthful, but one has to take care not to assume that every sexual phenomenon is biological.<p>For example in the States, in matching tools like group dating events and dating apps, men typically outnumber women by a sizeable margin. One could ascribe this to biology (with women as the choosing sex, like we see in a lot of primates and other species). I had to reconsider this when I saw some pictures from a group dating event among Chinese international students at my university, in which the women outnumbered the men! I was told by a Chinese person this wasn&#x27;t uncommon for such events in China. I found out later that group dating events in Japan are similar in terms of gender balance as well.<p>I would very much like to hear some hypotheses for the reasons for what seems to be a pretty big cultural difference. To me it casts a bit of doubt on the author&#x27;s narrative of &quot;women have it and men want it&quot; -- in some cultures, it seems like women want it too.
