While I agree (Enby, rejected pushy girls too when I was younger) it’s worth noting that in public spaces female-presenting people only get this treatment from cis-het-men 99.99% of the time.
Also, a pushy woman is much less physically threatening, so being firm in rejecting them is generally easier.
I totally read this as a gender reversal thing, having had to say that to a few girls in my time.
I wonder about these things. Is it just coz I’m an enby that I don’t see the gendered nature of things like rejection?
Guys can be shy, or pushy. Girls can be shy or pushy… Its not exactly the same but it’s not exactly different either.
