    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!!
