A shame that in reality they don't have that level of self awareness

Yep, buddy, you sure are. And I sure wish you would understand that.

I am not even sure that I think this is funny. True, yes. But funny until I really think about it.

Perfectly reasonable. There's probably groups of women evaluating who they'd like to dance with-- they're at a dance club. Some of them them probably approach men on their own. It can be good times if we just let it.

I worked for a fashion house in Manhattan back then. All the construction workers used to cat call all the women walking by. Annoyed me to no end. When the latest style of longer skirts (slits up the leg) came out, I wholeheartedly wore those. I got a lot of boos with that, but ONE MAN actually said he liked it. "I find that MORE sexy by leaving more to my imagination", he said one day. I actually stopped and gave him a big smile and thank you for that one. His coworkers didn't like that I actually stopped and acknowledged his comment. lol

My daughter's female childhood friend (born 1978) became a construction worker. With WOMEN in the field a lot would have to change.
