I just understood this: "I thought if the feeling was there I must make myself available." It's what we women do, did. I don't know if young women do that now. But I do know that if a boy/man looked at me, I suddenly was there for it. Is this common? It feels pathological.

I think it’s very common among my generation anyway (I’m 52), and societal. A product of the patriarchy.

Same. 54. I have a friend who is 35 and it already feels so different for her and I'm so glad. So many sleepless nights wondering....
