        In my experience it does make a difference. I am in a similar position with my partner.

        Smiling = men thinking you are up to talk or more 🤢

          Men will also often tell women and girls to smile if they aren’t.

          It doesn’t matter what women do, men will harass us regardless.

            I was told to smile.

            While I was wearing a face mask.

            Even when it’s stupid they say it!!
