Never claimed that. Misrepresented. Look at the thread.

I disagree. Especially in the example given in the first tweet.
-
I also think not approaching people wearing headphones should be standard etiquette. Don't think that's gendered tho.
-
If you mean both men and women shouldn't do that I agree. I don't think many men r being approached by women if that's what you're hinting.
-
Probably not, no. I get approached by women more tho. A lot more.https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/896083743995187200 …

Doesn't matter that I have headphones on. They fall into step with me & I have to say 'I really enjoy walking on my own' & they take offence

Are you a UK native or an expatriate?

Lifelong Brit.

That may explain our difference in experience. I noticed far less of this there. Granted I've only spent a few months collectively there.

yes but the action this tweet is about is NOT POLITE. Hitting on woman going about their day is NOT POLITE. Time and place dude
-
I do think headphones should be a signal but otherwise you can't know whether someone wants to talk to you or not.
-
...there is NO good reason for a dude to randomly approach a woman on the street to flirt.

Speak for yourself.

I think charity is needed on both sides and some thinking about social cues and how the other might feel.
