Stuff has to change, absolutely, Cavill said, before adding: Theres something wonderful about a man chasing a woman I think a woman should be wooed and chased, but maybe Im old-fashioned for thinking that.
Its very difficult to do that if there are certain rules in place. Because then its like: Well, I dont want to go up and talk to her, because Im going to be called a rapist or something.
Now? Now you really cant pursue someone further than, No. Its like, OK, cool. But then theres the, Oh whyd you give up? And its like, Well, because I didnt want to go to jail?

But everything he said is true.

You can't ask someone out anymore. You run the risk of them going fucking Hulk on your life, screaming that you're a stalker raper and getting your ass thrown in jail. Nobody is interested in social discourse anymore. They think everybody else is out to get them and anybody who wants something wholly banal or just to ask a question is a murderous rapist, and in this case a pedophile because they're interested in someone 'too young' based off of an arbitrary standard of "life stages"

They're not intelligent decisions, not logical decisions and while she can make those choices the older men that go after these young women are definitely taking advantage of them

Also taking a hyper individualistic stance that people shouldn't at least watch out for one another is why so many people grow up without any sense of belonging or community

There's watching out for each other and there's infantalizing people to the point they don't know how to be adults and any question, any confrontation causes them to freak out inappropriately, labeling whoever it is something that they're not.

Quit infantalizing women. Let them be their own woman. Allow them to be 'challenged' in the world and make decisions on their own. If someone is too old for them or they feel they're being manipulated, let them make the decision to say No. Quit saying No for them. If they need help, be there for them but quit strong arming them out of experiences

And quit demonizing men. It's nearly as patronizing to men to say they're all degenerate monsters preying on women as it is to say women can't be trusted to make their own decisions
