You understand that we already have a solution to it, right? These men get ignored when they send messages which are creepy and unwelcome unless someone wants to try confrontation with them. You're the one who suggested that they might be owed a straight answer, I'm simply disagreeing with you.

Regardless of what you may think, no one owes anyone a straight answer. And the point of the article I linked was to point out how randomly people snap and go off since your argument was "most of these guys are harmless" which may or may not be true but if someone doesn't want to risk it, then they don't have to.

Would you rather they went along with it, said yes to a date, said yes to a relationship, said yes to marriage?

Where in any of my posts did I say I wanted them to do that? Thank you for setting up a lovely strawman. At no point have I suggested that they should agree to things. In fact I've said repeatedly that they don't owe these men anything which is a concept you don't seem to be getting.
