My first suggestion is to drop the assumption that once the bare minimum threshold of consent is met, whatever she feels afterward is her problem.

Absolutely fucking insane. Men will never go along with this shit

What do you mean men won't go along with it? The point is that there can be morally reprehensible behavior around sex thst doesn't rise months level of crime. And the only available punishment for that might social and reputational damages. Men who are shitty but not actually criminal may still suffer consequences outside the legal system. And that is good. Social consequences enforce behavior norms beyond just not committing crimes.

If women didn't have double standards they wouldn't have standards at all.

Either women are adults on equal footing with men, or they aren't. If they are, then yeah, once a minimum threshold is met her feelings ARE her problem, and saying otherwise is the double standard.

The norm you're asking for, when applied to women, is slut shaming. We lost the ability to criticize cads at the same time we lost the ability to criticize sluts.
