“One of the most feminist things you can do is define what you want in your romantic relationships and ask for it. We have to set the standards and expectations we want from our romantic relationships and then seek partners who can meet us there. That doesn’t mean dating doesn’t still have its challenges, but knowing what you want out of your dating situations and being clear about those expectations is invaluable. It forces you to be accountable to yourself and will help you weed out partners who are not good for you.”
