You can't go more than a few days on this subreddit without women and BP men confidently asserting that a woman's relationship and sexual past does not matter, and the past can have no effect on the future. Any man who disagrees with this notion is deeply insecure and possesses a small penis, they claim.

Okay. Sure. A woman's past does not matter. Let's agree to that statement. But if you subscribe to this line of thought, I expect you to be quite consistent with it.

I don't want to hear about how you are afraid of men because a man made you feel unsafe once. That's your past, it doesn't matter. I'm not changing my behavior to make you feel safer over something that doesn't matter.

I don't want to hear about how your father made fun of you during your "wild phase" at college, and made you feel unloved. I'm not going to support your decisions and call your father's actions inappropriate. He was probably correct, but that's irrelevant because that's your past, it doesn't matter.

I don't want to hear how your last boyfriend broke your heart and you aren't fully "healed". That's your past, it doesn't matter, I expect you to treat me exactly like you treated him.

I don't want to hear how you expect faster commitment and marriage now that you're older and were strung along by several men when you were young. The actions of those men don't have any effect on you now because that's your past, it doesn't matter.

I don't want to hear a single thing about ANYTHING from your past that has changed your current actions. If your past doesn't matter, I fully expect to be treated EXACTLY how you treated your first boyfriend, and I expect you not to treat me any differently based on the things men have done to you in your life. You should be treating men EXACTLY the same way at 30 and 40 as you did when you were 18, without exception.

Because, as you say,

Your past doesn't matter.
