4. I have no problem with this as long as men are instructed on how to behave around women.

Common courtesies and manners seem to be a lost art, and people who present themselves in a positive way will be more successful.

Just yesterday, I saw a family with Mom, Dad, three kids in the grocery store, all wearing pajamas. Dad was barefoot and filthy. Loud and obnoxious, the lot of them. Yes, I made a judgement and concluded that these poor kids will be less than successful in their lives because no one will teach them how to behave.
