Your second point is so good.

It starts before you can even read. Even as a wee lad I remember any time I interacted with girls, my parents or some other parents would make a stupid comment about us dating. This shit happened all the way through high school. I never understood it, like why can't I just be friends with them?

Then the majority of those wee lads grow up into men that have known women as nothing more than some thing to be acquired.
