I upvoted the post because I like that it tries to tackle power dynamics and sources of problems related to sex, which the community clearly has.
That said, I don’t actually agree. I don’t think policing people’s relationship choices (including casual ones) is necessary—or productive—for preventing harassment etc.
Perhaps the most important point is that out of the sample of comments I’ve read so far, most were written by men—and I’m much more interested to hear what women in EA think here.
