>> But because those instances exist and these men have likely witnessed them personally, even if they're rare, they create the possibility in the minds of these men
There was never any suggestion that any of the men in the article observed some
woman "dating up" and as a consequence of that felt justified to grope or send
inappropriate messages to the women in the article.
The men in the article themselves did not even try to portray their alleged
actions as justifiable, or excuseable by association with any other past
behaviour. They either admitted their behaviour was wrong or denied they ever
behaved in this manner.
And yet, here you are relating a story about a woman you once saw "dating up" to
try and explain those men's behaviour as something else than a simple mistake
that should not be repeated.
How is this useful, exactly? In what way does it contribute, besides changing
the subject and trying to shift the blame on the people who, in the article,
were reportedly subjected to undeniably inappropriate behaviour?
