The notion that men who respect women and treat women the way they would want to be treated somehow slip or err because they don't know where the line is, and are going to get into trouble because of "the bleed over of this (?)" into those "regular relations" -- that just seems obtuse to me. Lots of men treat women poorly because they want to and they can. They know what they're doing. They understand that it's not OK. To take just one example, it's pretty clear that Glenn Thrush knew what he was doing and knew to tell stories about his targets to protect himself and weaken their standing. He didn't rape anyone (so far as I know) but it certainly wasn't innocuous.
The idea that this is really about some misunderstanding or confusion or different expectations -- that's basically a load of crap that is convenient for assholes to hide behind.
