- mschuster91 9y ago> Men generally don't catcall or fondle strangers' bodies either. But vastly more men catcall or grope women than the other way around. That's the issue. > It's a general projection, "why would anyone do that?". To assert power and dominance (both attributes that are part of the common definition of "masculinity" in western societies).

I agree it happens from time to time that customers try to score with you, but it's really incredibly rare compared to the stuff my female colleagues had to endure (maybe twice over my career vs daily).

Are there any societies in the world where men aren't more assertive, aggressive, and power-seeking? I kind of thought they were fundamental psychological differences between men and women overall[1].
