Many women make excuses for their bad choices, including in sex. “He was so charismatic, I couldn’t say no to him” is a common one.
If a woman won’t take responsibility for whom she goes to bed with, she lacks agency (the power to make decisions and take the consequences).
In Orthodox Judaism, a woman’s father or husband has the right to revoke her vows. Women also are not counted as witnesses in Jewish law.
For women, everything gets transposed and framed in terms of their lives and personal needs.
I remember arguing with a woman in 2000 about the election. She favored Gore because Bush reminded her of someone who was mean to her when she was growing up.
