      Well, that's trivially true. The majority of men are heterosexual. I think you missed that I was objecting to negative generalisations.

      You know exactly what I mean by approach in the context of the tweet thread you were on.

      Not really. Do you mean approach them to be abusive? Or approach them knowing somehow that they're not welcome? Or just approach them?

      I don't think the majority of men approach women with ill-intent. I'm sure most of them have approached a woman who is not interested.

      Ill intent is slightly subjective here. I think they don't understand how fucking annoying it is and sometimes threatening it can be.

      They can't know if the woman will be interested or not, no. All they can do is try & be polite & non-threatening.

      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 …

      Boundaries intruded on is so subjective. More women than men have trouble accepting I want to walk my dogs on my own. No malice there. https://twitter.com/r0bz0rz/status/896077683586613248 …

      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

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

          Interesting, I can't comment on that though. I've never seen it or heard it from my friends.
