I invite you to re-read what I wrote and what you wrote in response: > [@Bricker](#): > > The answer is yes. You walk down the street, someone’s coming the other way, you smile and nod that person in passing. Man or woman. > [@Nawth\_Chucka](#): > > Our responsibility to people in public is to not make things needlessly harder; accept people as you find them unless there’s genuine intervention called for (they’re sobbing, having a medical emergency, that sort of thing). Their expression isn’t your business and no one’s entitled to control that but them. That is courtesy at its most basic and it’s confusing to me how anyone could think the expression on another person’s face somehow costs them something. > How would the frown of another person possibly be a detriment? Having re-read them, I now invite you to point out which of my words said that their expression is any of my business, or that it “costs me” something, or, more generally, I invite you to explain in what specific way what you wrote has any relevance to what I wrote. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/women-share-your-stories-of-having-your-crotch-grabbed-when-you-didnt-want-it/768105)._
