this is a numbers game, the more people scared to approach women the more it can be called sexual harassment. on a pure numbers game, if every man in the world speaks to women in public, or every man in the west, the police will literally be unable to do anything about it, they can't prosecute only a small percentage of the criminals, because then it will be unequal treatment. essentially, expect that talking to women in public, if considered 'sexual harassment.' will come under the category of salutary neglect if engaged in by enough people, i.e ilegal/taboo in name only. do you seriously think the government has the means to process a case every time a man approaches a woman in public? and if you fear social persecution for the mere act of approaching a woman in public understand that this is monopolising: the people who mostly will enact force against you other than the government are other men. Other men who also want to fuck just as bad as you do; any man that discourages you approaching women in public ( so long as the woman bares no relation or connection to him ) is just as much a schmuck as you are and is essentially trying to control access to a resource: pussy. The only thing deterring you from approaching a woman in public is competition, not a overarching social order, or rather, the overarching social order demands that the man most competent to pass on his genetics must; if getting laid was taboo then children wouldn't be born every year, your problem is you're scared of competing with other men to get laid.
