I predict lots of women will be taken out as well, not just men, before sanity returns.

I'm sure there are hundreds of women over the past couple of decades that this POS did disgusting things to. I pray they recover. But unfortunately in this political climate, you must be willing to risk your reputation, employment, and peace of mind over the newest type of catcalls...from US. Senators and such.
Best for all women to learn and practice the phrase...in any number of ways..."Back off, Buster or I'm going to the police." Then sprays the SOB with mace. That's the longest-lasting outcome of this that works for everyone. Well, everyone except those that have it happen in their home with relatives. Then it's just "get the hell out asap", sorry to say.
Will we evolve? Perhaps slowly. But assaultive-type men are on notice, to a certain extent.
