Why? Because male privilege.

Basically let's make all men feel like s*** by making them feel uninteresting as opposed to the alternative of the woman possibly liking him but already attracted to/by someone else. Make all these confident people into shy and self-deprecating dweebs and then the already-shy will never ask anyone out for fear of being bluntly told how he's not charming, witty, sexy, or otherwise attractiveMale privilege is “I have a boyfriend” being the only thing that can actually stop someone from hitting on you because they respect another male-bodied person more than they respect your rejection/lack of interest.
The idea that a woman should only be left alone if she is “taken” or “spoken for” (terms that make my brain twitch) completely removes the level of respect that should be expected toward that woman. It completely removes the agency of the woman, her ability to speak for herself and make her own decisions regarding when and where the conversation begins or ends.
