I think this is really scary because there is still a tendency for some men to think everything is here for their use, including women. It's not guaranteed that men see women as equal, autonomous, valued, independent people. There is still a strong thread of bias here in america where men truly believe their desires should prevail over everyone else's rights.

Fine. Be argumentative. If it makes you really happy. But this is where you get polygamists and abusers and abandoners- there are many men who truly don't see the value in another being, except in how that person can serve them. And here are three of them, watching the other 2, all believing that they had the right to do what they did.
I know women who's exes would not let them go, and when the courts finally intervened, they still continued the harassment and gate-keeping. This is why we have women's shelters in every city:
