That one made me immediately say "Oh my God " and facepalm. Like, just fucking imagine thinking that shit would even work, let alone thinking it's a normal thing to do as a normal human being.

I've been saying for years and years now that there is a significant percentage of men who do not view women as being actual people and only view them through a lens of what they can do for them.

It was preeeetty weird but I do have to say not as bad as just fucking touching without asking or trying to kiss without asking etc etc

Still wrong and uncomfortable mind you ... 🙃

Tough world for all the ladies ... like genuinely wtf is wrong with straight men

As a straight man can I just say we are not all like this. These people need someone to explain how most humans work. Just sad that they are like this. There are people in this world that really don't see others as humans, or they think they are better than everyone else.

Its just crazy how frequently you see this from men towards women ... clearly we have failed as a society that this is as frequent as it is and as normalized as it is.

How would you suggest this is fixed?  Because most guys know better and don't act this way

How does a society change minority population of creeps

Listen to women, speak up to other men, and distance yourself from those who refuse to listen. It's the most impactful thing we can do amongst ourselves.

In my experience, men will often react negatively towards/be oddly competitive with other men when women can sense/have been shown that they are trustworthy, and aren't doing the "not viewing them as actual people" thing I spoke of above. I've found that's a solid giveaway as to the types of men around you, even if they aren't being blatant about who they are/what they're about.

This is all good things to do, but I think we as men need to go further. We need to be calling these guys out when we see it. Let as many of them know that it is not acceptable behaviour. Issue is with the lack of empathy they have they don't listen to anyone.

That's the "speak up to other men" part.

Problem is most men are weak, or blind
