Uh... have you been around for the last thirty or so years? Apparently accosting women is harassment these days, so it's less hassle to wait for women to do the first step, I guess.

Wow. You just made me realize accosting has a completely different definition than I thought for the past 25 years. God damn it that's upsetting.

You made me check and apparently it's a bit more aggressive in English than in French. Now I'm curious what you thought it meant.

I basically thought it was a synonym for "assaulted." Which is like explicitly violent. Like I was WAY off. Which is rare for me, I had like 750/800 on my SAT verbal. 99/100 on my NYS English Regents exams. That's so embarrassing to me.

Now I have to algorithmically sift though the memories of my life to see if I'm relying on that definition for any important logical frameworks that my autistic brain uses to do my thinking.
