Yup. There's definitely a lot more inherent trust strangers have for you when perceived as a woman.

That and also that quite frankly our society has serious issues with homophobia.

So what IF a guy smiles at another guy and is just being friendly and wants to have a nice chat? Like it's immediately seen as a sexual advance! Omg if you'd just punch the guy out of the blue he'd be less upset.

Not to forget to mention that this sort of culture also gets in the way of men simply talking with women in a respectful manner, giving her a chance to safely get to know him, and as a result getting a more fulfilling love life 🤦🏻‍♀️
