Honestly, why are you so obsessed with the number of intimiate partners your intimate partners (or potetial partners) had before you? How many did you have? You know, because this knife cuts both ways.

Also, sex is fun. People can have as much, in any form, of it consentially as they please and like.

It can matter a lot. The arrival of HIV in 80's changed suddenly how people interact with sex forever. Specially one night stands and casual sex. I can do some damage control about who enters in my partners list, I don't have any control about who were in yours so yes, sometimes it matters.

If you're a man who has sex exclusively with women who are not prostitutes and do not use IV drugs, your odds of contracting HIV are vanishingly small.

Why are women so obsessed with this "feminism" thing? We've built them an objectively better world than women of the past had.

Unfortunately you can't change people's feelings with logic. They don't necessarily make sense, however frustrating that might be. Men tend to be more logical, but when it comes to sex men's feelings come to the forefront. One could perhaps offer theories to explain them based on reproductive success and evolution, but does it actually matter? A shelf might be straight according to a spirit level but if it looks wonky, it's wonky.

Seeing the last decades of female rights, which were hard fought for by feminists, as something us men built for women is minimizing the effoer women put into that fight while also minimizing women's ability to achieve hard things on their own. Quite some level of misogeny, tried to pass as actually caring about women and the society they live in.

It is days like this, which arw becoming more and more frqeuent since Covid, that make me really consider to leave HN... There was a time this site actually felt different.

You're missing the point completely. The "better world" was referring to things like washing machines, hair dryers and bras. It was also supposed to be ironic and you were supposed to continue reading.
