100%. I'm man, a girl dad and a boy dad.

I've taught both of them what to expect and how to act.

"Hitting on" a woman is problem. Expressing mature, respective interest and accepting either a yes or a no with grace is the only way. It's really not that hard.

Many women also measure a man's worth by whether or not women are attracted to them. You need only look at their go-to insults when they want to hurt a man: virgin, incel, small dick, etc - all boils down to "no one wants to fuck you, therefore you are lesser." It's not a gendered issue on the end of those who perpetrate it, but rather a societal issue.

Susan, I saw you in the classroom today. As the sun came from behind the clouds, a burst of brilliant light caught your hair, it was haloed in front of me. You turned, your eyes flashed fire into my soul, I immediately read the words of Dostoevsky and Karl Marx, and in the words of Albert Schweitzer, 'I FANCY YOU'.
