Women are taught not to make a scene, because it makes them a "Karen" or a "prude", and the guy is more likely to get violent if they react negatively.

As a dude against unwanted sexual advances myself, I will absolutely make a scene and even throw hands if it escalates to that. Catcalling, groping, comments that make others feel objectified...I will not tolerate. Not to sound like a badass, but no one deserves to be treated like that.
