UN: G.Akechi | Early afternoon

I'm never leaving my apartment during full Cordis again.

If you encountered me while I had multiple tails, please forget about it. And, I'm sorry to anyone I might have been too forward with, particularly if your moon was also in phase.

It wasn't just you I was being flirtatious toward. And some people are told by the rest of society that they're automatically in a position of disadvantage when dealing with men.

[In other words, sexism is bad and doesn't just make things harder for women.]

Has anyone made any complaints to you with this post?
foolishjustice: (Do you mean-?)

Surprisingly, the only complaint was...about teasing someone with my outfit and illusions.

Then I believe you're fine and overly stressing.

Give the people here some credit. We're all very aware of what kind of world and situation we're in.

Maybe I'm the one having trouble shaking bad thought patterns. I'm so used to the idea that women will both expect entitlement from men and not expect to get support if they try to fight it that I'm assuming it's going to be the default among Moonblessed, too.

While there may be some truth to that, I believe there is enough diversity in cultures here that it isn't the norm.

It seems to me in a world where physical affection is necessary, being direct will help more than hinder.

I know there are a fair number of people here from some version of Japan.

Then again...I also know there are at least some Japanese women who felt stifled by the pressure to only pursue someone they thought they might marry. It might be mistaken to approach this from an assumption that women are more likely to consider an advance to be an imposition than a compliment, since the attitudes I hear about could very well be lies to save face in a society that looks down on women who show an interest in sex.

If that's the case, I wouldn't second guess yourself so much then. We've already talked about how this place is freeing for you, and I imagine the same can be said for many others.

I know it is for Rise-chan. We've talked a fair bit about the kinds of expectations we faced back home, and how much of a relief it is to be able to do what we want here.

She's explained as much to me as well.

[Huntsmen really do have entirely different expectations put upon them, but ones that are far more reasonable given what they signed up for.]

In any case, you're fine with me.
foolishjustice: (My mistake.)

I'm glad. I think it'd be uncomfortable for everyone involved if things were awkward between me and a partner's partner.

I'm sure if something were truly wrong, Rise would do something to fix the situation. Or at least attempt to.

Thankfully it's not that way.
