Things were different back then. Mainly white men were going around raping people. Outside of that the older gens had better social skills and communication. They usually politely rejected each other and people were used to in person rejection so didn’t overreact. I’d say things began to change when drugs became more common in America, more violence happened. Then with the internet being so common, poor social skills happened so now common social things are a big deal. Plus people may try to overcompensate bc they don’t want to look a certain way online.Most won’t believe these stories without actual proof.
Imagine the fukk shyt that was happening to women before folks could record everything
Tldr: I don’t think men acted like this over rejection back in the day (unless you are talking about 70s and beyond)
