One thing that has not changed is that women still cannot approach men for something romantic, despite all the talk you hear about women being this and women being that. How can that be?

Women: what are your reasons?

And don't bother saying "I do this" or "I've seen X do this" because the reality is the vast, vast majority of women don't do this. Rather they expect men to be proactive stone cold emotionless beings that do this, whilst women just present themselves nicely and wait and hope.
