" it is not men's job to take care adult females "exploring" their tolerance..."

That was deemed society's role (mostly men) until about a century ago. As a preventative measure against rape, it worked extremely well.  In an era of the "chaste kiss", there were simply too many societal barriers to rapes (women didn't drink, for one thing--and, for a while--after they helped vote for Prohibition's repeal--only privately, in their homes.)

Increasingly, women chaffed at personal restrictions imposed by society's mores. Society gradually relinquished its "protective" role in legitimizing women's quest for equality and freedom.  

What many WOMEN then failed to do--being human beings--was take more individual responsibility for their actions to compensate for relaxed mores. What many MEN failed to do was perceive women as the thinking, feeling human beings they were and behave accordingly. 

Progress, eh?
