I have a sneaking suspicion im not alone in wanting this. It seems my post was largely poorly worded. Im primarily advocating for something i believe will help others, because ive talked to other people(both men and women) and they seem to have some desire for something like this. I think the issue comes in because i spend my time thinking about how to solve other peoples problems but I view them through the lens of my rationale, why I would do those things or make those decisions, which leads to people assuming im advocating for this for my benefit.
When I see men catcalling women and getting scorned, I can see that it has an effect on both parties. The women are disgusted and sometimes scared, and the men are hurt, lonely, and oblivious. The only way I can think that I would get to the point of trying those thing is if previous attempts had failed. If all my romantic ventures up until then had not worked out, so I need to try something new. That is a willingess to change, but without direction they dont know WHAT to change. This can very easily lead to them becoming worse, creating a feedback loop that leads to nothing but shitty men in our society. So by giving them that guidance on what to change, they would have a better chance of integrating themselves into society. Even better if that information isnt coming from some alpha male on youtube or some thread on the internet written by men, it needs to be a woman telling them how to change and they might actually take it to heart.

ha, k. i get it, and youre not wrong about gaining those skills.
I would think a good therapist would be able to provide exactly the kind of inter-human training needed to achieve what youre discussing. the tools exist, the people are out there. can any of those who really want that help afford it? prolly not.
we don't have a 'we need this thing to exist' problem... we have a 'no one wants to pay for that thing that already exists' problem, as usual.
that said, you pointed out this causes a lot of societal problems though, and it seems many of the most vocal or problematic are those people (men) who dont think they are the problem at all. no amount draggin them to the help well is going to make them drink.
