In modern PC feminazi society one cannot express sexual interest without causing one of those bullshit "sexual harassment". Unless of course one is female.You seem to be advocating for sexual freedom or sexual liberation, not for "the right to have sex." Being granted a right implies an obligation on another's part; your right to have sex would allow you to demand it from someone else whether it was desired or not, and I assume that isn't your intent. Because it would work both ways, so to speak.
As for "expressing sexual interest," I think that's one of those areas with definitions that are far too vague and slopes that are far too slippery. It might simply come down to societal norms and what people expect of one another and how important it is to you to be like and/or respected. Depending on who you ask, modern society is still far too misogynistic or far too sensitive to women's desires. Your experiences will still depend largely on how you comport yourself and who you are dealing with in any given circumstance. And that's not a bad thing.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
