It&#x27;s not possible to know attention is unwanted until after it&#x27;s given. Sometimes such attention is wanted.<p>I know at least two women who sometimes complain about unwanted attention from men at tech conferences and similar circumstances. On the other hand, they both slept with me within a few hours of meeting me <i>under the exact same circumstances</i> as a result of <i>exactly the same type of attention</i>. They just happened to find me attractive but other folks unattractive. This doesn&#x27;t make the unattractive folks hitting on them sexist villains. It just makes me a guy blessed with virtues like being tall and having a symmetric face.<p>The fact that women receive <i>more</i> attention is solely proportional to the convention that men must approach women. Feel free to try to change that - I&#x27;m sure nerds with approach anxiety everywhere will thank you if you succeed.<p>Attention, wanted or unwanted, is of course always proportional to how desirable a person is. That&#x27;s the cost of being beautiful. Similarly, being a hot commodity in the job market has some costs like unwanted recruiter attention, in addition to benefits like six figure salaries.<p>Is it really a worthwhile use of our time and attention to make life marginally better for people who are already at the top of the heap? (Not that you&#x27;ve actually provided any mechanism for separating wanted and unwanted attention.) Why not focus your time and attention on the folks who are really suffering - e.g., low skill workers who are barred from working in the US, or unattractive men who get laid once a year at best? Why is increasing social inequality such a priority of yours?
