The wording of the question is problematic, because (a) it sounds snarky, and (b) it is trying to produce a specific answer. See, for example:

It's not really flattering (or, as Captain Hook would say "I want no such compliments!"). Being sexually harassed is not empowering, and trying to troubleshoot it isn't invigorating, it's just useful.

Please try to use a more neutral tone when asking questions. It will yield more (epistemically) useful answers.

I also was offended both by the wording of the question, and by the "here are the answers that I would respect" follow-up.

It feels like not but trolling.
