The core of slash fiction is basically an entire culture built around mostly cis het women objectifying gay men. (I don't necessarily think this is bad, but it's very much a thing)

In general (and this is partly a cultural thing that exists from moving mostly in queer poly mostly female dominated spaces rather than the mainstream, but I've 100% encountered it from random women on the streets too) a lot of the creepier behaviour I see is from women.

And the reason is basically that it's treated as a harmless when women do it, so it doesn't trigger the same external or internal repercussions. A man being creepy is a big deal. A woman being creepy is generally not, so they don't necessarily learn how not to.

Possibly we mean slightly different things? I think I'd claim the following are both true: 1. More men are low-grade creepy than women (although I have complex feelings about why this is). 2. High-grade creepy behaviour actually encountered is more likely to come from women.

Yeah, and it's going to be very culturally specific and depend a lot on how you define the boundaries of creepy etc. Mostly what I mean is that I have encountered a lot of women who do not understand how to appropriately get consent around touch and personal space.
