I love this whole article. As an older man, I can see the dissuading activities of women I meet become more and more obvious as time goes by. I am especially appreciative of the #MeToo! movement. Because I was raised by a single mother, who had to take care of two children on her own, I am very careful not to create stress for women. When I feel good about myself, I notice that I can project that confidence and happiness into a situation involving a woman I don't know but would like to and it's just not realistic or fair. The veracity of a man's desire, as I like to call it, is not more valid than a woman's feelings toward attention to her. I think knowing this and respecting women allows me to be a better protector of women's autonomy and right to self-determination.
