I think it's ok for women to be allowed to ask men or at the gym purely based on the reason why it's not ok for men to ask.

An estimated 91% of victims of rape & sexual assault are female and 9% male. Nearly 99% of perpetrators are male. (1) This US Dept. of Justice statistic does not report those who do not identify in these gender boxes.

Men commit the preponderance of sexual violence/harassment by a long shot.

It's become the norm for men to leave women alone in less-than-social spaces because it provides a more welcoming environment. Which is a huge cultural improvement IMO. The other way around though is fine. I don't think most men are expecting to be sexually harassed/abused by women in those same spaces.

Not saying it couldn't happen, because it does, but it's SOOOOO MUCH less likely.

Clippy coding! Newer coders won't get the reference, older coders can hold it with the same scorn.

This is misleading. Colorado doesn't have a law restricting government contracts with companies boycotting Israel. It DOES have a law preventing the state pension from investing in companies that boycott Israel though.

This is probably more accurately a map of states with Anti-BDS laws supporting Israel.
