Y’all, I am fired up about a lot of things, so I’m going to post some grievances. Feel free to ignore me, but also take some of this in. I can’t be all sunshine all the time. So, buckle up!
Just because a woman speaks openly and honestly about sex doesn’t mean she wants to have sex with you.
A woman can be a “slut” and still be a victim.
A victim never chooses to be a victim. That is

Just because someone you like does something awful doesn’t mean they shouldn’t face consequences of their actions. Likewise, just because you don’t like the victim doesn’t mean that they don’t deserve empathy or justice.
Guys, if you don’t know a woman, if you haven’t built a rapport with her, STAY OUT OF HER DMs!!!
We have to deal with a lot of creeps. Even if you’re not a creep or a “bad guy”, we have no way of knowing.

Also, DMing something innocuous that could easily have been said as a reply to a tweet is SUS!
For me, when I see that, I see a guy testing the waters. It’s a short three steps until an unsolicited d*ck pic is I’m my DM. No thank you.

Personally, I’m here as an entertainer, a professional tease. I’m ok with being objectified because this is a stage for me. This is my act. Replies are like the applause or cat calls I get on stage. I get it. That bit is consensual. But that doesn’t mean I don’t deserve respect
Read the room. Not every woman is comfortable with flirtatious interaction. Your “twss” comments may not be well received by some woman who is just trying to share her salad recipe.
And not all women will openly say they are uncomfortable with that sort of attention. Girls are taught to be polite. We are taught to avoid conflict to protect ourselves from escalation. So, again, read the room.
Men & women can be equal without being the same. So, when you are engaging with a woman you don’t know well, understand her thought process is not the same as yours. If you want to shoot your shot, making sure she feels safe and comfortable will go a long way.
I’ve accepted dates & given out a fake phone number to get out of an uncomfortable situation. We have to assess , on the fly, if a man is going to be an aggressive creep or someone worth knowing.
Recognize we are usually at a distinct physical disadvantage & let that sink in.
