Hey Sahaj! I wanted to point out that dating when we were younger is not a risk all of us could take or were willing to take and hence, not an experience we all could have. My parents and I came to America with economic constraints, and I infer that is a common experience for immigrants. Also, because we live in patriarchy, I feel like there has been inadequate guidance on dating, whatever "dating" means, as well as on female sexuality and consent and boundaries.
Thank you for this note! Yes, nothing here is meant to suggest we are a monolith and I love you bringing in this dialogue and different perspective. Thank you :)
