I'm not saying that anybody is entitled to anything, or that men have the right to blame anyone for anything.
This is what I'm saying:
1. Women receive more compliments than men. I'm not pulling this out of thin air:

Women give more complements, but they receive more complements, too.
1. Women give more compliments to other women
2. Men give more compliments to women
3. Women give more complements to men than men do...but less than the compliments they give to other women and less than men give compliments to women.
4. Men are least likely to give complements to each other.
You will likely get more compliment from either gender than I will. That's statistically sound...not speculation.
2. Within the context of dating, men face rejection more often: they are expected to make the first move. Women don't face rejection, generally speaking, because they don't attempt to make contact.
There are aspects of a woman's life that men will never understand. This, on the other hand, is an aspect of men's life women understand. You and the author may believe you have the same experiences that men do, but you don't. Beyond expecting (asking, hoping, demanding...) us not to retaliate, it's kind of 'splainy' for women to tell men how to handle rejection.
