      Why would a man want to approach a woman that automatically assumes the worst of them?

          Even as an introverted, socially awkward guy, I understand the real answer is better socialization. When the only encounter you have is a brief awkward attempt to hit on someone, which has always been low probability for most of us, you’re going to be frustrated. Too bad there weren’t more ways in everyday life for that frustrated guy to have gotten to know more people, recognized women as people, had varying levels of relationships with varying people.

            That requires a societal change, and certain societies are worst suited than others.

            I don’t think a society that objects to demonstrations of affection in general or values guns over lives is well equipped, for instance.

      Yeah but the amount of men shooting kids that stumbled on their property cuz they thought it was a trespasser is getting up there.
