There is something we can do. We can hold the other grenades accountable for their explosive nature. Something that has traditionally not been done. Which has led to the situation as it stands now. The company line has always been grenades explode, that’s just their nature.
We’ve been indoctrinated into believing that if we step in and tell a man to back off from harassing a woman that we are “cock blocking” them and that is impolite. It’s not and men aren’t entitled to being allowed to talk to women just because they want to.

Assuming I’m one of these hypothetical men that you want to do that, what exactly did I fail to do? You’ve forgotten that men have also been told they don’t need a man’s assistance, they are independent and equal. Those are conflicting with being told to believe women when they say things, but don’t believe them situationally, and we must be psychically aware of when we’re supposed to act vs not act.
So what did I do wrong that warrants me being assumed to have failed at doing? If I can do better I would, I just don’t see what I missed.
