I understand you, it certainly feels good in your imagination but once you get hit on every day it becomes annoying. E.g. it is extremely annoying if you just want to walk through Soi 6 to reach the beach and every yard another woman walks up to you and tries to grab your hand or get hold of you.
It's even worse if you are trying to get some work done. Imagine that every time you want to grab a coffee while you are still thinking about a problem, some lady walks up and starts a chat "Hey honey, how is it going?"
> “He was about six foot three, and he told me I was not going to leave,” Holmes recalled. “He put his hand around my neck and tried to choke me.”

(These are direct quotes from the article, by the way.)
If you can cite stats indicating "most men" like to be choked and threatened with sexual violence, feel free.
