Isn't there an inherent culture among men that dates all the way back to middle school, high school, and college that somewhat sets the tone for inappropriate behavior later in life? These kinds of behaviours happen a lot and begin at a very young age. And they seem to be okayed by nearly everyone then. Why don't these things stop before they begin? I almost feel sorry for the men in these stories because the rules seem to have changed on them at some point and nobody told them when. Let's be clear! These actions are not ok in any work setting at any work level in any industry in any situation of diversity or lack thereof. Further, these actions are not ok in college, in high school, or middle school and in any area of education. Today the focus is on the investment industry, but it happens everywhere, from the bar to restaurants to company meetings. And these articles need to do generalize the environment beyond startup valley. Everyone should be put on alert. Even bystanders.

You can't tarnish all men with the same brush though. Not all men exhibit this behaviour.

The problem is that the rules are not written. Polite guys don't get laid.

I believe it's the changing culture that causes these problems in general. The rules and the culture are changing, and the pace at which different people adopt the changes and adapt to the new society is different. Unfortunately it doesn't happen in an instant, and culture gaps between people cause this sort of awkward situations where communications fail. Many traditions and social situations need adapting, like meeting new people, dating, workplace, family, friendship, all the stuff that involves genders, and it'll only happen in time.it's not that far back in time that women had to fight for suffrage.
