Escalate

No matter what kind of misinformation statistics people are given on TV, females aren't better at de-escalating anything than males. Many of the people who live to escalate things are either female or effeminate.
Some, if not many females live to escalate things and not to de escalate them, so trying to bullshit people with statistics to push for more female law enforcement, when there's already too much law enforcement as it is, with people being over recruited and over policed is not going to change the reality of human nature, neither do statistics, no matter how convincing they sound. Some females have an interest in law enforcement, some have an interest in science, others have an interest in music or the things they have an interest in, but at the end of the day if somebody doesn't have an interest in something, trying to push them to develop an interest in it or change their way of thinking isn't making the world a better place the way some would claim it is, and it isn't a selfless cause.

Queen of escalation

A reference to Taylor Hebert from Wildbow's "Worm" Alia 'Skitter', 'Weaver', K̵͚͕͈̺̖̈́͂́͝͝ê ͍̠̹̳̬̂̍̾̕̕þ̵̣̟̲̹̆̃̉͛̀͜h ͕͔̭͉͛̈́͒̆͘ͅṛ̴̨̣̗͕͂̄̉̌̌ï ͍̮̺͕̹́̑͂͐̉
A God once tried to kill Skitter. I don't see any gods around here, do you?
Yes, the queen of escalation escalated against god. And won.

Once, the queen of escalation tried to deescalate and surrendered to the lawful authorities. Over the next twelve hours, she killed one of the most powerful heroes in the world and a decorated military officer, and forced the evacuation of a square mile of city. She got a medal for it.

relationship escalator

The social expectation that a romantic relationship should automatically follow a set of steps and lead to marriage, parenthood, and home ownership. This term is used primarily by people who want to get "off the escalator," who want to judge the success of relationships by criteria other than how smoothly and automatically the relationship gets more serious.

One sample template is "Meet someone > Dating > Sex > Move in together > Get married > Have kids"

Doing these things out of order is being off the relationship escalator: if you have sex on a first date, many people think your relationship can't, or shouldn't, eventually become more serious. If you move in with someone, moving back out again usually means that the relationship is over. Being polyamorous or participating in other kinds of non-monogamy is also being off the relationship escalator.
We broke up because he wanted to be on the relationship escalator, and I prefer to live alone.

Your dating profile suggests you're not on the relationship escalator, so you need to explain specifically what you're looking for.
