Comment	Ok since your male perspective literally won't quit - I'm sure you've heard of the phrase 'not all men'. That's true, not all men harass women, not all men are rapists, not all men are (pick whatever word you want really). But the thing is, it only takes one man. I really hope that you are more protective of the women in your life than the disregard you've shown for my personal safety and comfort - giving men who display predatory behaviour the benefit of the doubt is not a useful method of action, and I can't believe I'm actually having to spell that out to you. If you were a woman routinely on the receiving end of harassment in your daily life, would you want to play that lottery? Why should I, to be polite just incase the nice man is just accidentally harassing me for months on end, whoopsies? His actions don't warrant politeness, and neither do your frankly prehistoric views on how women should just be nice and put their 'poor old sod' harassers out of their misery by saying 'i don't fancy you' and have the issue magically go away, as if harassment is a normal or typical method of courtship. Anyway, that's the last of my free time I feel willing to give to over-explaining the obvious to someone who genuinely thinks victim-blaming is a useful tactic, but you are very free to go bother somebody else in the interim.
