It seems to be a generational thing, as the older men seem to think it's flattering to women to behave that way.

And in my post about those two men, both of them were much older than me.

Younger men were raised under the MeToo movement, so there's way more awareness of what they say and do now. Previous generations had no such movement. Because so many women speak up now, and it's involved famous men too at times, today's young men are more conscious. Of course not ALL but it's a different time now.

I'm also thinking of Anita Hill and how if the trial were held today, the outcome would be different.

Maybe you have a point there. Hopefully the next generation of men will turn out to be more respectful to women. Apparently some younger men like my chiropractor apparently have no manners.
