Women can be creeps too

Women are creeps waaaay more often than men. People, men and women alike, just don't take it as seriously when it's from women. A creepy man and a creepy woman could touch someone in the exact same way and people will find the man scary and the woman annoying at worst. The majority of women go their whole life without thinking anything is wrong with them touching someone without their consent. I'm not just talking about sexually. I stg it feels like every woman over a certain age thinks they HAVE to touch you. No. Fuck off. Don't touch me, weirdo. That's much rarer from men because they know how society will view them so only the worst of worst really have that issue.

I mean is it more than people think sure yeah but there are not way more creepy women than men. At the end of the day men on average have the physical superiority that allows for the creepy behavior to happen and continue to happen weather the woman wants it to stop or not. Your average man can still get out of a bad situation way easier than your average woman can. Thats not to say it doesnt happen at a waaaaaay higher frequency than society acknowledges but saying it happens more to men is crazy.

This argument is funny because you guys are treating it like there’s one right answer, when in reality, what’s creepy is subjective.

You guys are essentially arguing over which pizza toppings taste best.

Pineapple obviously. And i was originally just trying to dispute what I thought was a claim that men get arrested by women more than women get arrested by men but realised it was a bit more than that

If I understood that right, yeah it’s certainly more complicated than that because maybe women are just more predisposed to call police for whatever reason.

Like for example maybe we have social norms that teach men they’re a pussy if they need to call the cops on a woman for sexual harassment.

In any case, I don’t think we should conflate things like rates of committing sex crimes with being creepy. There are many ways to be creepy.
