It has only just occurred to me that my experience on something may be atypical. Men: Do you have experiences of women being bad at consent/boundaries in slightly creepy ways? e.g. touching you more than welcome. Anything where gender swapped version would be obviously creepy.

So people have this problem then and It's not gender related except for in how it is generalized?

I think it manifests differently with different genders, but yeah I don't think anyone is good at respecting boundaries unless they've been taught to be.

From reading this thread it also seems like most of the guys are sharing like "yeah this happened once or twice" whereas I think it's more common for most women

Yes, I think that's likely to be true. Although I wouldn't be surprised if it was like other stats on sexual violence where it's both significantly more common for women to be on the receiving end but the degree to which it is is much smaller than typical framing would suggest.

e.g. if I'm remembering the stats right, women are about 5 times more likely to be subject to sexual assault. This difference is both a very big deal and much smaller than the degree to which we gender sexual assault suggests.
