The reason it’s tough being a young man out there right now is because you have all these dipshit right-wing machismo assholes trying to indoctrinate young men into being complete and total pricks, as if women aren’t keeping tabs.
Unless you are waving a white flag and doing your best to demonstrate you DO NOT subscribe to that bullshit, they want nothing to do with you.

Maybe in some European country that’s the case, but in the American context there’s a strong presumption that the man will approach, to the point where it’s absolutely not realistic to advise men that they don’t need to learn to approach. Yes you also need to not be an asshole, and that’s important, but if you don’t start talking to women in the first place, they can’t know you’re an asshole or not.
