Why Guys Really Hate Being Called ‘Creepy’

57. If it walks like a creep

Talks like a creep, acts like a creep, my guess would be, it be a creep.

Many women, and I'm one of them, develop a kind of radar for men who are lets say, less than respectful about women in general, no matter what the public front is. For those interested, my husband concurs with my opinions most of the time. It's rare he doesn't see what I see. I know very good men, good friends, who listen to my feminist talk with at least on open mind, if not actual agreement. I have these wonderful fellows as a basis for comparison, a check on my own perceptions.

What MRA's really want is a definition for what is creepy and while women will vary their definitions, regulating women to orifices and body parts in casual conversation is one of mine. Oh, sorry, I forgot I'm supposed to 'lightened up' --my bad.
I rarely automatically label anybody anything, there has to be a basis. A lonely, awkward young man for instance wouldn't be creepy to me, but he might be to a confident young woman, and no, that isn't fair.
The term "creep-shaming" elicits exactly zero sympathy from me as its clearly a not so subtle poke at "slut-shaming". Like the two have anything in common in practice.
