Part of the issue is that a lot of men in the United States have no idea how to approach a woman whom they are interested in. Nobody shows them how to properly do it when they are adolescents, so they wind up going one of two directions as they reach their formidable years: They become far too timid and remain alone or they become far too aggressive and begin to engage in inappropriate sexual conduct.

I'm not sure how we go about changing this flaw in our system other than to shift the culture surrounding how we talk to our young men about sex and the rules of attraction. It's not enough to simply say, "don't rape women". As with any other bad behavior, a better option towards achieving ones goal must be presented in order that the individual might travel a more constructive avenue towards their desired outcome. If not, then the perpetrator does not change. They simply become smarter in engaging in their nefarious activities.

I disagree with the OP's assessment that the United States is "the land of free sex". While it may be technically legal to engage in consentual sex with anyone whom the individual so chooses, just because it says so on a piece of paper doesn't make it true. The United States is one of the most puritanical, uptight countries in the world when it comes to human sexuality. When one travels to other countries in Europe, Asia and Latin America, this becomes laughably, glaringly obvious.

As a result of our puritanical background when it comes to human sexuality, far too many men either remain virgins until they reach their 30's or 40's when they finally procure the services of a sex worker or they attempt to gain power and control over something which they don't fully understand through aggressive, inappropriate behavior.

We've become so exceedingly poor at addressing the issues of human sexuality, the laws of attraction and the "how to's" of approaching women that many of the men who are the direct result of this failure now hold some of the most influential offices in our country. Tales of their sexual misconduct fill our headlines daily. To make matters worse, we now have a significant segment of the population which actually believes, and will argue that such behavior is perfectly normal.

We simply must do a better job in this regard. If we don't, things won't change. In fact, they will only continue to grow worse. All of the #MeToo Movements in the world accomplish absolutely nothing if the core motivations which lead to their creation are not addressed. Simply stating that the problem of sexual misconduct exists without facing up to why and creating a constructive resolution which benefits all accomplishes nothing.
