Except that men disproportionately "awkwardly show interest" in random colleagues, strangers, passer-by.

All the women you know have experienced it, several times. Most of the men you know never experienced it.

So there is something sexist here, because women experience a flow of continual "akward interests" from random men that they have to manage. It's all on the women to manage men's akward interests, and from what my female friends tell me it is really stressing and wearing them down.

(I did an art-documentarish piece a few years ago, going and interviewing my friends about public space harassment and how they built techniques to manage mens. There's an excerpt in french there: https://www.facebook.com/Le-sac-%C3%A0-main-269196498659/ )
