Kate Julian captured this dynamic in a 2018 Atlantic article about millennial sexlessness, when her story of meeting her husband in an elevator was met with deeply ambivalent reactions from the article's subjects. Even as the young women she spoke to swooned over the idea of such a meet-cute, "quite a few of them suggested that if a random guy started talking to them in an elevator, they would be weirded out. "Creeper! Get away from me," one woman imagined thinking.
That gut-level revulsion in response to a friendly overture—"Creeper! Ew!"—is partly traceable to the idea that male desire is in and of itself fundamentally predatory, which is in turn traceable to the trend of viewing sex and love through a power-and-privilege lens. The way the thinking goes, if every interaction between men and women must be contextualized against men's abuse of women historically, as a group, then any man approaching a woman should be rightfully viewed with suspicion; even the most anodyne coffee date comes with an unwanted, non-optional side order of three thousand years of patriarchal oppression.
