It sounds ridiculous as well but neither are women. It's an interesting question to ask why we would see baseline gender differences in the implementation of these concepts. My back of napkin guess is a combination of women being socialized from a young age toward being accommodating to others and similar behaviors while men are less so, combined with the issues of consent and boundaries being a HUGE topic of conversation within women's spheres and again not so much for men. The latter seems to be shifting which may have an effect on the former in time but it's slow and there is significant pushback.

I agree with that. Unfortunately we just kind of forget how much morality is actually learnt. Once it becomes a social norm we act like it's innate.
