Earlier today, I was walking home to my apartment when I was stopped by a man who awkwardly stared at me on the elevator. When I left, he stopped me and told me that he found me attractive. This grossed me out. No hi or asking what my name is. I told him I wasn't interested and walked away.
This unwanted attention happens all the time, so it's not surprising, but when I complained about it with men around I was hounded. They said "you're really complaining about a compliment" and that I was a "0/10" for complaining about a compliment from a man. The women were empathetic, but the men just saw me as ungrateful and didn't understand at all how being called hot without any other acknowledgement is disrespectful and puts me in an uncomfortable position.
I noticed that this is such a trend in life. Whenever I talk about a negative experience with a man, a man needs to put in his two cents and invalidate my experience or say that my feelings aren't justified. They call women speaking on their experiences "annoying" and go "what about the men." Why is it like this? Do any other women have similar experiences with dudes invalidating their feelings and experiences?
