Rules For My Fellow Members Of The Male Gender (In Case You Missed The Memo)

And so many, many more.

You are not allowed to behave like an out-of-control perverted pig with members of the opposite sex (or with anyone else, for that matter).

No random/ambush kissing, touching, hugging, or grabbing of ass (or other parts).  It's not cute or sexy.  It's assault, and it's somewhere between creepy and criminal.

No "accidental" nudity.  No greeting female guests/co-workers in your towel, robe, or birthday suit.  It's nice to have a penis, and it's great to be proud of it, but you're not allowed to take it out in public, or wave it around in people's faces.

No manipulation or exploitation of women for sexual gratification.  No using your power, position or status to extort sexual favors.  Really scummy, and probably criminal.

No "dating" of children.  That's called statutory rape or child molestation.  Definitely criminal.

Women are lovely, and sex is nice, but it must be consensual.  If you're not sure it's consensual, it's not.  It's rape.  Very criminal.

No excuses.  Think with the big head, dummy!

It's much in the national news right now, but it's nothing new, and it's not limited to the U.S.  The problem of men behaving badly is global and age-old, going all the way back to whoever it was who first believed that women were somehow not equal, were a bit inferior, and could therefore be oppressed, abused, sexually harrassed, underpaid and denied equal rights forevermore.  But the times, they are a-changing, and women are no longer willing to just quietly "accept it."  The #MeToo movement has helped a lot.  We've finally reached a tipping point.  Good.
