I agree with all of you, and I want to add: when your kindness is read as flirting. Men never have this problem and therefore are more friendly to strangers. If they are attacked they know that 1) they could fight back, 2) at worst the stranger wants their values. To us, being robbed would be the best of worst outcomes.

Unfortunately when you're a woman you know you're not just a person, but something more (less?), a piece of meat. You wear shorts? Oh, so sexy. You wear a tank top? Oh, so sexy. Whereas you are only trying to fight the hot weather. You smile? Oh, she wants me.

I wonder if in a few centuries women will be finally seen as people everywhere.
