I think both aspects are manifestations of several underlying problems: First, the traditional (biological or gender-role driven, I don't care) courting passivity of the human female in all cultures I know anything about; neither relationships nor sex are likely to happen to men who don't ask. Second, bad cultural memes still abound: 'coy (or innocent) woman' vs. 'aggressive, dominant man' has manifested in the most unlikely (to me) places in the past few years.
