Preach it. I've been lucky - I must give off a "no" vibe because I just don't bothered by the same crap my friends get from men. But even I've gotten it a few times. My "favorite" is when I'm on the subway or park bench, reading, and a man comes up to start a conversation. I have no interest in flirting, I politely turn him down, making sure my wedding ring is visible, and he icily turns on me to accuse me of being a bitch or a lesbian. Because, of course, the only possible reason I wouldn't be interested in some rando is because I'm a bitch or a lesbian. It couldn't be because I just want to read my book, that thing they interrupted when they wandered on over uninvited.
