Assholes really ruined it for genuinely sweet guys

There's research on how men are actually much more likely to listen to other men too and that they have a higher homosocial bias than women; i.e., they're more likely to overlook bad behavior solely because a guy is male. So, no one wants to admit it, but actually, the wheel is in mens' hands. No amount of women overcorrecting will fix these issues.

Imagine a world where the first second a man catcalls, the men around him start laughing at him, making fun of him, making him feel small, weak, and
Imagine they did this at every hint of a guy acting creepy. It's actually a given the behavior would stop pretty quickly. However, the world we live in? Men that see drunk women to be someone to be preyed on are given constant benefits of the doubt by....average men, among many other things. Or that creepy uncle that can't stop making sexual comments, especially about little girls? Backed up by other men. It's like at a distance they can condone bad behavior but then immediately flip the script when it actually involves demonizing an individual. "Oh, it's just male nature" is something I see men claim about something outrageous all the time and tbh I'm sick of it.
