      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!!
