not that there aren’t unhealthy relationships that women can have with each other but i’m gonna be a bit hyperbolic here and say that I don’t think it’s possible for men to have healthy relationships with women due to the very nature of patriarchy. Any relationship men have with women is predicated on relationships of power and control.
We recognize that for a teacher to have a relationship with a student isn’t OK, even if both people are consenting, because of the inherent power imbalance between them. We recognize the same for bosses and employees, prison guards and prisoners, counselors and clients, too.

Why should men be treated special?
