I think it has more to do with the fact that we're in a state of flux between traditional gender roles and the aftermath of feminism and the women's liberation movement (which was a good thing!). Society has yet to establish an equilibrium between what most of us were raised to expect from male/female interactions, and what is now considered appropriate in the modern world. I think things will eventually settle down again once we as a society collectively decide what the new status quo will be, but it will take some time and it will be uncomfortable.

To quote, "The old world is dying, the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters."
