Girls are more needy for keeping things cool socially, so while they do like to outright shame guys with insults, I think it might be causing them drama or something because I've noticed at least one new, psuedo-subtle pejorative that's popping up.
"You are very persistent"
This is a less confrontational way to say creepy.. it allows them to maintain an air of condescension. It's a thinly veiled put-down.
The fucked up thing is that persistence used to, I believe, be a valuable characteristic in men. A persistent man was persistent because he had a strong purpose.
I bet we are going to see a lot of these kinds of condescending shaming terms soon taking the place of old clunkers like "creepy."
