People are slowly realizing they held the wrong mental model of young men. The wrong mental model says that young men are natural risk-seekers and will naturally want to approach (and possibly harass) women. Now people are learning that most young men's default factory setting is apathy and not giving a fuck. Most guys won't willingly take risks or approach women unless they are encouraged and incentivized in some way.
The false mental model says young men are naturally predatory and must be disciplined into compliance. The real story is young men are naturally lazy and need a reason to do anything.
Other cultures (and ours up until 10 minutes ago) understood that mature masculinity is largely artificially induced through culture. Mature men do not naturally emerge like butterflies from their boyish cocoons. Rather, they must be carefully encouraged, nurtured, counseled, and prodded into taking the actions necessary to achieve mature manhood.
