Women are much more independent these days but for whatever reason this has not changed. Men are still expected to do the asking. I don't get it and frankly I never have.

Why are you asking? I think it's well overdue women do more asking. I'd like it to happen to me just once, IRL, because it never has. By that I mean traditional talking in a face to face conversation and asking me out. FWIW - I don't expect it.
I think the reason dating and mating has not changed is because with everything else: voting, right to work, right to equal pay, etc... we attempt to be "gender blind." But the differences in the two sexes is the ENTIRE reason we date/mate/etc. So instead of trying to be the same, we attempt to show the differences in a way (not only in appearance but in behavior and "mating rituals").

I am not saying this means a woman can't or shouldn't approach a man. I am just saying I think that's why these kinds of things are slow to change (if they ever do).

THAT is your problem right there.

I liked you from your previous comments but you lost me here.

I hope you are joking.

Because Political correctness tells us that a woman can do anything a man can do.

Because social concepts and ideologies are the only reason to fear doing otherwise.

Because if you concede that approaching is solely a man's job, then you are saying that you are unable to think for yourself and go after what you want, and that you live for the sake of a man instead of for yourself. A woman who needs a man to take sole initiative for who she spends her time with speaks to major self esteem and gender inferiority issues. What happened to empowerment?

Because people fear being different, and going against the grain.

Women won't ask because they fear rejection. That's basically what it comes down to, there ego getting hurt.

If they want to, they should. If they don't want to, they shouldn't. Some women don't have to.
