The social convention is for the man to approach a woman and attempt to initiate contact. At this point the ball is in the woman's court,and she can either accept or reject the advances. Men are not mind readers. A man does not know if a woman is interested unless he puts himself out there. IP: Logged |

The article talks about a lot more than just flirting. I say kudos to them for taking this stance. Misogyny is a real problem. IP: Logged |

"wolf whistling, street harassment, verbal abuse and taking photographs without consent".Oh yes. Especially taking photographs without consent. I'm interested in keeping up to see if what the Nottingham polices do will make a big change. IP: Logged |
