There was this thing in the culture that women want to be left alone. They don’t want sex. Anyone approaching them only judged on their appearance so was obviously a pervert wanting sex. At one point we reached the concept of “stare rape”, looking a woman for too long make her uncomfortable. As someone with ASD, I already learned to count seconds in my head when I look someone: I know I have to move sight after 3 seconds for not being weird/creepy. Still counting since teenagers years. I never approach, even change of the side of walkway on the road if I follow a woman for too long so she’s not afraid. The whole interaction rule in society seem to be “stay away a few meters, don’t touch, don’t look, don’t talk and you won’t be considered a monster”. I’m a bad person for having desires. It’s so fucked.
