Boy are you old-fashioned! (just like me)
I am totally in agreement with you. It would never occur to me to do anything like these - even the actions that seem “less serious” like putting hand on a buttock during a photo I would never do let alone forcibly kiss a women, or pull my johnson out, or walk naked out of the shower across the room in front of strangers etc (or worse).
But as flabbergasted as you and I may be... imagine what the typical woman has to endure in the process of going from a girl to a single woman and then to find a spouse (and beyond). Incredible. Since these things would never occur to me, I never really thought about what they go through.
“I’m flabbergasted that there are so many pervs. I was raised right, with values it seems. I can’t imagine forcing myself on someone.”

The amount of pervs doesn’t surprise me, they’ve always been around.
I just don’t want to see “perv” to defined downward to the point where some guy wolf-whistled at a pretty girl or in the case where the sportscasters was shamed and forced to apologize for noting on air that a football player’s wife (who was in the stands) was beautiful.
Sexual harassment and assault should be something a bit more substantive than such instances.
Not criticizing your point at all, just ranting here :D
It’s about power.
