I have no dating advice on how to navigate romance while be cognizant of the patriarchy. Just be friendly and nice, and people can usually read your intentions if you have no ulterior motive.

They're 56 substantiated allegations of misconduct. The allegations wouldn't be substantiated as misconduct if they were justified actions to restrain violent individuals.
