The interesting thing about this post is that nearly every complaint is about a type of behaviour that is both common and expected among male-to-male interactions. We have a culture of pushing each other to improve. If you get a push you don't want, you just ignore it.
But, when it goes from male-to-male to male-to-female, suddenly these things are "hideously provocatively rude behaviour".
I wonder what that says about our society.
