Not that there aren't any "pick ups" that are actually assaults, but simply attempting to pick up a woman is not violation of her person, yet I've certainly seen it treated as such. That only discourages men from asking, which is conterproductive to creating a culture of consent.

It's like this in a work environment as well. How many people have married because of their work environment? No really, I'm asking!
If someone says no, the person asking moves along. It's that simple and pretty much the understood unwritten underlined unresistant rule.
Of course I'm not talking about productivity in a work environment here...
