I agree with you but...
Maybe we need a guideline on which places it is okay to hit on women? Groceries? Tech conferences? Cafe? Yoga classes?
I remember I read complaints from women on Twitter who were hit on by guys in tech conferences. They felt they were being devalued there. Even a senior personality (a man) in tech world had to intervene, "Hey, it is not okay to hit on women in tech conferences."
On the other side, my female friend told me that she is okay if guys hit on her in yoga classes.
So I don't know the answer to this perplexing question. Should we categorize places/events into don't-hit-on-women / okay-hit-on-women?

I think at tech conferences it's less welcome because it's a professional environment. There are many reasons why it's hard to mix relationships and work.
