I do not think that reducing it down to always throw the person out no matter what is a good solution. I think punishment to that degree should always be a last resort, and we should work on dealing with the systems that allow such things to happen and give such people therapy, and make sure the variables such as entitlement, the patriarchy, and abuse etc do not happen.
We should give people the emotional tools to deal with rejection and safe people/spaces they can go to without judgement if they have done things or want to do things so they can work through it.
At the same time I believe we should also give victims/survivors (or potential ones) more control and power in this system so they can fight such people off and not be punished for it.
My goal and desire is for a society where people are taught not to do such things in the first place and gave the ability to deal with no etc. However, in the mean time it’s clear a transition is needed and punishing and locking people up clearly does not prevent it, so let’s try something better which might have a chance of reducing and eventually eliminating such actions.
I think that’s up to the victim/survivor.

I wish you luck with that then. It’s more likely for society to go in the direction of harsh punishments for lesser things instead.
Thank you. Yeah, it’ll be a long road full of twists and turns, but we’ll get there eventually.
