The "funny" thing is, when it's men staring at men, it IS considered provactive/aggressive. One time I was out with a bunch of theater friends, including my pugnacious macho friend Mark, and there was some sort of contretemps between him and a bunch of gangbangers who passed us on their way out (this was at a Friday's in Alexandria, Va. of all places). Mark and these guys were staring each other down through the glass and I couldn't stop thinking about animals in the wild, where staring is a clear signal of aggression, as in cats. You'd "think" they'd realize hey, if it's a signal of aggression strange man to man, maybe when it's strange man to woman, we'd feel the same way. Assholes. I fucking hate it when men stare at me. Take a picture, it lasts longer!
