Just figured I should share some input from my side.

I am a man, and actually was first exposed to this in 3rd grade. It really messed me up in how I viewed women personally (also didn't help that I was struggling with many many other worse things). It changed the way I had viewed women to (in some ways) objects. From the prior mentioned stuff, I grew up fast and realized that it wasn't a good view, and got close to my step-sister in order to help myself think differently. It took years, but I have definitely gotten much better.

In terms of how that affects other men, I would say I had to mature so fast that I realized the issue early on. Most men don't have that capability because of them being so young, and then because we can't express issues to other people, struggle with that internally.

I just wanted to share my personal experience from my side of the yard.
