There is an extremely large portion of men that are scared to put themselves out there because they are ostracized as creeps and fear the consequences of social shaming. “The worst she can say is no” is no longer true. The worst she can do is take a video of you while she publicly shames you for being a creep and trying to rape her.

Curious why you say that? Edison is one of the greatest pieces of shit in inventor history. He has stolen more ideas and put so many small inventors out of business it would boggle your mind. I think he would be salivating at the current state of affairs for electricity and copyright law.
