some of us prefer to adhere to our respective gender roles regardless of whether or not we agree with them completely. we do live in a society with other people after all. i can disagree with the concept that men should do the asking all day long, but if it isn't actually practiced by anyone in real life i'm not doing myself much good by being a revolutionary about it. i'm just going to scare men off.
I sympathize with the underlined, but I think that your view is different for women than it is for men.
If a man decides to try and "be a revolutionary about it" (I like that term, btw), he could choose to stop pursuing women, but the adverse effect is that he will have fewer (or possibly no) dates.
If a woman decides to reject her "gender role", so to speak, and begin asking men out, they may very well say no. But she won't get fewer dates as a result, possibly more, in fact. Plus, if a guy is scared off by you asking him out, he wasn't going to ask you out anyway. So nothing really changed.

I don't know why women think men would be scared off by a women approaching when men have to go through twenty rejections to get a date.
It happens. I think those guys are stupid, but hey....more ladies for me.
I have heard it makes them feel like less than a man when a woman comes up to them. I don't get it, but it isn't my problem.
