      This is a big strategic & moral question. Do we say sexual predators are rare and evil and we must all fight them? /1

      Or do we communicate that all men are predators and the difference between Weinstein and most men is just a matter of degree? 2/2

      You're trying to make a point about 'inherently predatory' versus 'socialised predatory'. I think that social influences are extremely pernicious currently - so while all boys are not inherently predatory - especially during teen years

      It's ridiculously easy for them to cross over into the casually harassing side. Maybe without knowledge, peer pressure, etc. So it's easy. Unless there are strong countervailing influences.

      'casually harassing' for teen boys sounds a lot like 'not knowing how to approach girls'

      Here's the thing. Although females can be (and are) harassers as well - it's more often the other way around. So if you accept, for even a second that females more frequently get harassed by males- burden is on the males to get their behaviours sorted out. Not 'I didn't know'

      I don't harass women, I don't have to sort out my behavior. Do you want me to go around and say to friends that harassment and rape is bad?

      Wonderful. Congrats. Hurrah. Just don't say - well maybe he didn't know how to approach you and you felt harassed. That's a terrible excuse. Men can take the effort to figure out how To approach without harassing. Jeez.

      Jeez Louise, did I said you need to say that to harassed girls? Don't strawman me in into a psychopath.

      No I'm just saying - burden is on the males / the approacher. It's really not that hard to approach people without them wanting to turn and escape.

      Oh, it can be. Perhaps you are reasonable but women have claimed to feel harassed by being told they're beautiful or asked for phone number.
