some people believe flirting is a goal in itself or an indispensable part of life for a valid human. meaning, these type of people can’t conceive the existence of someone who doesn’t flirt nor one who doesn’t enjoy flirting. that’s very dehumanizing for others of us.

not everyone is capable of flirting.

i have no interest in relationship discussion communities but speaking as a privacy supporter, using gender neutral language can have the benefit of:

• disguising the poster against misogyny and other gender-based trolling.
• if an argument erupts, it can also make participants more difficult to dox or stalk in other communities.
