If you want to call it sexism.<p>I have a female friend who gets hit on virtually constantly. She works for AT&amp;T, and has described lines of hopefuls outside her door when she goes into the office. (she now works mostly from home)<p>She never pays for lunch, never pays for dinner. Men offer her free trips to different countries. She really is that attractive. But women who aren&#x27;t quite that attractive get hit on all the time too, maybe not to the same extent as my friend does, but still a lot, in places that people would consider inappropriate or unprofessional.<p>It&#x27;s pretty much ubiquitous. So ubiquitous that even calling it &#x27;sexism&#x27; almost seems to downplay it. Because these little flirtatious interactions are easily hid from other people, particularly other guys, it&#x27;s easy for guys, who are never the recipients of similar attention, to remain unaware of, or worse, fool themselves into believing that women are not being constantly assessed for the potential for romantic or sexual liaison.<p>My friend started highlighting it for me, and then I started seeing it <i>everywhere</i>.
