why can lesbians flirt in a way that's harassment if guys do it?

[Lil devils x_v1legacy]

The wealthiest per sq ft county in the state of Texas, where we have like 23 billionaires who live nearby. The man who raped me as a child came from a very wealthy family whose home actually looked like a castle.

...Wuh... what the...

I mean, I come from a pretty high-end neighborhood (In Texas too, at that) but the worst we ever got was some teenage dickhead robbing a house and bragging about it on facebook.

Granted I've never gotten 154 numbers in a single night either. I haven't got 154 numbers in my life. I've gotten, like, three. Are you sure you're not Aphrodite re-incarnated or something?

We are 20 min from Dallas so location may have something to do with it, but primarily I think it is the wanna-be 90210 attitudes here that tend to breed entitlement.There are plenty here think they are entitled to take what they want regardless of how someone else feels about it and feel they are above the law, because how dare anyone think they could arrest them? I Honestly think the entire area is ground zero for an " affluenza" epidemic.

I did modeling in high school and college, so yea attractive, but not what I think anyone would consider "Aphrodite" attractive. LOL

I'm not exactly qualified to talk in depth on the behaviour of lesbians. (I've known a few, but none of them were particularly forthcoming about their butt-slapping tendencies or lack thereof.)

But if I had to guess I'd say it's because dudes are generally going to be more threatening. Or at least perceived as such.

That's not exactly a revelation.

...

By way of demonstration, let me ask a question of the OP and anyone else who feels like answering.

Tell me, who else, male or female, for whatever reason, regularly walks alone at night in non-crowded areas?

Those of you who do, I'm guessing whenever you go past a stranger, or group of strangers, you do a little sort of "threat assessment", even if it's just a quick once-over glance. I know I do and I've had others describe the same thing to me.

I'm willing to bet that, with few exceptions, men or groups of men register much higher on your radar than women or groups of women.

Whether that constitutes due caution or terrible sexist misandry I shall leave to other, highly intelligent, even-tempered, bias-free posters, of which I'm sure there are many.

I can't argue with this. Walking home in the dark, I often catch myself reaching into my pocket for something to act as a knuckle duster, in case the stranger walking past tries to start something. Ironically, it probably puts them on edge more because they see me suspiciously fishing around in my pockets for deadly weapons.

I dunno, maybe it's some kind of a personal complex or experience, but knowing that there's a group of women, particularly in the age range above 30, make me much more nervous than a group of men, even though I usually try to pretend to be fine. I've gotten used to spotting from a distance all-female clubber groups prowling around, as if looking for someone to harass, often intoxicated because if you don't avoid them straight away, you can get into trouble. I've been witness to all-male group doing the same, but much more often to all-female groups.

OT: I think harassment is harassment across all genders and sexual orientation. Double standards show disrespect to all of those groups.
