    Also a man 🖐️ also never seen this happening IRL 🖐️ Also on board with the reason probably being that I don’t look for it, I’m not on the receiving end, etc etc. Also probably because I don’t get out much, and when I do I focus on my wife and/or kids, depending who I’m out with.

    I have also heard that basically all women experience creeps like this at least once in their lives, if not regularly.

    But is it really true that “women experience it every day for their whole lives”? I find it hard to believe, even in a big city. 🤯

      It happens every day, though maybe not every day to the same woman.

      When I lived in a bigger city, I would get comments almost every time I commuted, which was daily. “You’d look prettier if you smiled” was a common phrase thrown out.

        My god. First of all, sorry on behalf of those men, although not to help those men say sorry, but for your sake.

        Secondly, wtf. W. T. F.

        Is that your job, to look prettier on your commute? Like, what? Gosh. This is probably small potatoes to you by now but it’s rage fuel for me. The gall that people have to think they’re entitled to leave an open opinion on what you “should do” in order to please them. Disgusting.

        Aside from being super awful, how can that possibly actually be a known fact though?

            This question isn’t about trusting the word of women. I explained it in another comment. It’s just, how can we know this happens every day of every woman’s life if we didn’t have every woman’s account at the end of their life? It seems practically impossible to be able to logically truthfully make this claim. 😅

              My b. No it doesn’t happen every day. Some days we don’t go out. Some days we manage to avoid most men.
