> Women have a right to expect not to be harassed online, men don't have a right to expect women to initiate contact with them online.

No one is arguing this... they are simply saying women don't understand how men experience online dating.

> Men who don't experience contact from women should be able to comprehend that women are often harassed despite their own personal experience being different.

If this is true, then women should be able to understand that a man who has faced nothing but rejection during years of online dating will begin to get frustrated, and may lose their peachy demeanor. After the 100th "genuine conversation" you have online with someone that ultimately goes nowhere, and the 1000th message you send that gets no response, you may begin to resort to "ay bb want some fuck?" Obviously no one deserves to be harassed online, but ignoring the factors that cause these behaviors is silly.

You won't change these men's behavior by telling them to just die alone silently and accept their loneliness. You will change men's behavior by understanding their position and empathizing with them.
