the male manager of customer service will tell you without any shame that one of his favorite pasttimes is breaking people’s personal boundaries because he loves the way people act when they are uncomfortable.
unfortunately but statistically, women have a higher chance of sexual misconduct or abuse in their background which causes more women on average to be jumpier when their personal boundaries are crossed than men.
this means he gets the ‘best’ reaction out of the women, and so whether or not he realizes it, he ends up doing this to the female employees much more repetitively than he does to the male employees. he stands directly next to or above them and tries to get as close as possible to them without touching them. to make them uncomfortable on purpose. because he likes it.
