The thing is, most men aren't scared, they have been told what they are doing is immoral and asked to stop, and they have.

It is one thing for women to laugh at someone they are rejecting, this is just a momentary social awkwardness. It is another to claim that man is a bad person, creepy, entitled, misogynists, oppressing women, bothering women, a monster, like a sex offender, like a pedophile. This changed the game. Women have been insisting on it for years and many of our favorite celebrities have been accused of being sexual predators. Every so often it makes news and we have stern reports telling us this person is a monster. We are constantly reminded women are disgusted by us and don't want us anywhere near them, especially if we find them attractive. What used to be something normal, for a man to find a woman attractive and ask her out, is now a grave sin.

You see it on /r9k/. One minute we are accused of being lazy and not going out more, the next we are told it is creepy for us to try to make friends and socialize or join a book club or something, in large part in the hopes of finding a gf. We are told to go outside, then we are told to go back inside, damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Because the most recent psyop convinced men that it was immoral to do so. That it makes them as bad as weinstein or a stalker to even try to talk to a woman. It is particularly powerful because it is not just forgettable social awkwardness, their face will be plastered on social media, the woman will tell all her friends about him and socially ostracize him, she has a justification for doing so.

In the past they relied on psychology and changing people's perceptions of things, perhaps because they think so little of white men they assumed that moral appeals wouldn't work, or perhaps because western christian morality declined and could be replaced with "social justice". Whatever the case, they made this big discovery about the 2010s and began scolding men for so much as saying "hi" to a woman. Even if there is a 1% chance that it was unwanted, they tell us that it is wrong, that we are bad, that we are being creeps.

Why risk ruining your life just for a small chance of getting a date? No, you just put yourself on tinder and hope you get a match, if not, then you can only assume women aren't attracted to you and that's just that.

>it's not that hard to court a woman
lol, even just talking to a woman is considered "sexual harassment"
