I am so fucking done with male people telling female people that it is irrelevant to them whether people are male. Oblivious male privilege on a goddamn stick.https://twitter.com/Stephen_GM/status/1155876735755440128 …

I agree we instinctively react differently to the sex of the people with whom we interact, but on a cognitive level we can decide not to care - if it isn't relevant to the situation.
But if you're a lone woman interacting with a stranger who might be a man, you can't decide not to care. That's the point. I think it's difficult for us (males) to imagine ourselves in that situation.

Lone woman + strange man = of course.

Right, and the point is that any woman going about her daily business is surrounded a great deal by strange men... we are constantly aware of it... telling women to not care about the sex of other people is contrary to our entire experience of the world.

Yes. And, of course, even men who are not strangers, who you think you know...
