Advertising has long told men that if they buy the right car, aftershave, liquor, cigarettes, clothes, they will also get women. So how surprised can we be when men who can afford all those things expect to get women too?

I think that rich charismatic men will get women. Don't care. It's the unneeded abuse & nonconsenual getting that's the problem.

The point is that they come to expect women as a commodity, leading to the abuse.

I'm not so sure there's that large a difference between the ratio powerful and not powerful men harassing/abusing/... women. The methods of preventing disclosure differ, and that surely influences individual scale of abuse.

There's enough women telling stories, and I as a guy have directly observed or heard enough, that I find it hard to understand the percentages.

Not all the stories will be published in newspapers nor told around the water cooler. No way to calculate percentages. This is a reality that all women know and men are just learning.

Yes, I agree on that. All I'm trying to say is that it seems to me the "can buy women therefore it's ok" chain/failure of logic is more than a tiny symptom of a much larger problem (largely patriarchal society?). Doesn't mean it shouldn't be addressed.
