And that's awesome that it gets to be that way for you. Not being a horrible person is step one. Making an effort to remember that other people have every reason to be afraid of horrible people is step two.

The new system does very little for you, a not-horrible person. But it makes it easier for us to figure out which people are horrible. Women do have some ability to extricate ourselves from borderline situations--and history has shown that we will be blamed if we don't. So anything that makes it clearer is a good thing.
