Sad to say but you are right it does seem to be lower class males that act this way, ones who have been brought up learning to disrespect females.
Honestly the only reaction that works is to totally ignore them because they are just trying to get a reaction out of you & a reaction only reinforces their behavior & accomplishes nothing.

The point I was trying to make is that people get away with being like that because there are no real consequences for their actions.
I'm also aware that the laws would have been dependent entirely on where and when one was raised. My uncle, for example, came from a poor background and was an alcoholic and criminal with anger issues for most of his adult life and he would tell me stories about how back where he lived he would pick fights with people who would go around disrespecting others or bullying people weaker than them and most people would look the other way and not call the police. He also told me that a lot of other people where he lived would act like that too.
So I was only basing my claim on stories that a relative twice my age told me which I found fascinating combined with my firm belief that some people need to be taught a harsh lesson in respecting people or else they will never change so if people like my uncle or somebody who has been bullied and harassed most of their life want to get physical with their bullies or if a man wants to defend a woman from guys who harass them even if it means he gets physical with the harasser than I say let them.
