Oh, and stop acting like women can't tell the difference between a
simple hello and "hello" with the elevator eyes and *that* tone of
voice. We KNOW.
If we have a 45 minute long discussion in which you get more and more heated when I continue asserting that nobody, not even you, precious snowflake, is entitled to anyone else's one-on-one attention on the street, and you say I should not bother because "everyone has problems" or because men are more likely to be physically assaulted than women, so women's defense mechanisms against street harassment are a pathology rather than a conditioned, valuable tool of self preservation, and you say I'm selfishly trying to impose my will on the masses -- I don't want to associate with you.
If I carefully, consistently use gender-neutral language except in cases where it's statistically determined that reported levels of an offense, namely harassment, are higher in instance of male-on-female than vice versa, and you insist that I'm sexist against men and that I don't care about violence and harassment against men, even though I fully acknowledge that harassment of men is a problem albeit statistically one which happens in lower numbers, and I hope that all levels of harassment go down -- Do not let the door hit you in your ass on the way out.
