Although I do very much care how this society fucks things up for men too, the response to "every women gets sexually harassed on a regular basis beginning at age 10 and this goes on for decades" should not be to continue to blame women for not being more compassionate because not every man is doing that. Do you even hear yourself? If somebody in a red hat punched you unprovoked every day at least once for decades of your life, you'd be kind of leery around people in red hats, even if not all red hat wearers did the punching, in part because you wouldn't automatically know who to trust and who to fear - you'd have to navigate each interaction with a red hat wearer not knowing whether they were going to punch your or not. You are the one who is not very level-headed. This is patently obvious.

I don't really give a fuck if it's only one percent of guys (it isn't) - if I (and every woman I know) is experiencing that daily their entire lives and you have zero compassion for that because you don't do it, that's a big part of the issue right there. It speaks to the fundamental problem of not seeing women as people (that one might have empathy for as human beings who routinely experience something traumatizing) and instead only seeing them as objects to acquire and creatures whose sole purpose on earth is to please and accommodate you and other men. You wouldn’t see beings who are unfairly withholding that from you when you didn’t even do anything wrong, which is what you appear to be saying.

I don't know any woman who wants a man to be smooth. Overwhelmingly, they want a man to be a real human being who treats her like a real person too. You've had your brain poisoned by too mych PUA bullshit. Weird is fantastic, creepy is not - because women have to deal with creepy every day of their lives and there is no excuse that justifies that.

Instead of blaming women for being upset at the way they are pervasively treated, you ought to be blaming the culture that has taught any men to interact with women in this way. It's not doing any of us any favors.
