The number of men who think there's nothing wrong with men's behavior is my favorite part of the comment section for this story.

Your comment is so tone-deaf I wasn't going to reply, but your use of the word "harmless" compels me to say--you're very wrong. These moments aren't harmless at all. At a minimum, they make women feel unsafe, which has intangible awful qualities. But in worst cases, they're a precursor to a man's unwanted physical approach, which can escalate to sexual assault.

I will not get over it. I have no space for dismissive language like this.
