If there are no rules
can women stop complaining about the behavior of men?
Decent people abide by rules of civilized behavior. It has nothing to do with some distinction between men and women but rather how people behavior when they treat others in good faith. Treating others with good faith means not telling the sorts of lies that would lead them to believe that you feel things about them which you do not. Treating others in good faith means not deliberately trying to get them to go against their own long term best interests just so that you can fulfill your momentary desires.
Of course people, both men and women, have every right to complain if they are actually screwed over.
can women not complain if a guy just says "hey nice shoes wanna fuck?"
Only if he is under fourteen.
Can women not complain that guys just aren't romantic enough or "most men are horrible lovers".
Oh everyone has a right to her opinion. Would you like to be told that you can't complain if women don't want to have sex with you?
Because men aren't allowed to complain about such things that women do without being called losers or misogynists.
In what universe are they not allowed? Here at Broadsheet, many of them complain all the time
