    It’s statistically far, far more likely to be directed at women.

    Do you have any idea where you’re commenting?

      I’ve had guys stop me on the street and demand I smile. I felt like an animal at the zoo.

      As an introvert, I have been told the same thing. Not meant to invalidate women’s experiences with this phenomenon.

        Buncha women talking about an annoying trend that disproportionately affects women. You hop in with “This doesn’t just happen to women.” Yeah, that is invalidating.

        Are you posting in the right community?

          Are you invalidating my experience? I’m a person too.
