Well I'm hoping that if it's no one else, these men can look to their mothers and close female relatives, as cliche as that may appear. (You have my condolences regarding Trump-I assure you, we've got our equivalent as well in Austrian politics.)
Yes, the guys who blow this kind of event out of proportion might need a reality check.
But I find myself sometimes strangely sympathetic-it depends on the circumstances. I once overheard while standing in line in a supermarket how one guy told his friend he was never going to spontaneously approach a woman again. (She may have insinuated that she was too good for him and him expressing interest-in an apparently polite manner-was insulting.)
