Sexual power politics land starts in the grey line between saying hello in the morning and giving someone unwanted attention.

There is a massive, massive gulf between the two. Unless there's something weird about how you say it?

Or you remind them of some who has assaulted them in the past (by looks, posture, attitude, language, etc).

I have a hard time simply coping with people being behind me, much less attempting to interact with me without first entering my forward field of view.

That took me three times reading it to get right.

To avoid anyone else misunderstanding: That's "remind by looks, posture, etc", rather than "assaulted by looks, posture, etc".
