The only time I feel comfortable dancing (club) is either by myself or with my lesbian friends. As an XY I have to deal with homophobia or creep-shaming.
As one outraged Men’s Rights Redditor recently put it, in a comment with 30+ net upvotes: Creep shaming is probably one of the most insidious and anti-equality things you can do. The ability to label men as “creepy” is just one privilege that women enjoy, and a constant source of fear of ostracizing that all men must fear in our society.

2013 Jalon Caine The absurdity of creep shaming A Voice For Men
When men complain about being "creep-shamed," or insist that the Tom Brady sketch accurately reflects reality, what they're really lamenting is a culture that is increasingly willing to honor women's right to be sexual -- and women's right to be safe.

As Gyula Ha/y's report demonstrated, the imitation of an imperial enterprise was expected to result in the restoration of imperial ambitions, even though only on a limited, symbolic level. According to this logic, the more devoted a country is to cultural self-colonization, the more likely it is to gain advantage over its rivals and dominate on a local scale.
In general, though, we can say that internal colonization, or self-colonization, quite often makes the imperial people the victims as much as the beneficiaries of the colonial enterprise.

The legacy of colonialism continues and expands to include those who self-colonize thereby reaffirming Weber's caricatures and uncritical idealisations of Westernisation and law or even to idealisations of Islamic law.
The significant distinction from Glissant in chamoiseau's novel, however, comes from the fact that the béké masters have been replaced with black policemen; the French power structure allows the various strata of Martinique to self-colonize through their language use.
Steeped in a military lore from college and from international exposure, the subaltern promised success for shaping an army of modern soldiers from mere peasants and for advancing the schedule to self-colonize the republic's dark corners.

In a place like London it's quite hard to work out the taxi-distance from A to B, because the one-way system is complex, because the streets are so bendy, and because you're so concerned about how expensive the whole thing is becoming that you can't really focus on distances. So let's talk about Chicago, where it's much easier to work out taxi-distance for several reasons.

Instead of discussing how to attract top candidates, states and PACE [the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe] blame each other for being responsible for electing less-than-stellar judges. […] At the same time, less-than-stellar candidates will get the message that they indeed have a chance. In other words, top candidates will not apply as the PACE is unpredictable and unprincipled, whereas less-than-stellar candidates will apply precisely because the PACE is unpredictable and unprincipled.
In effect, risk-based pricing creates a penalty for those in the mortgage market with less wealth and less-than-stellar credit. Other estimates on the interest-rate premiums that borrowers with less-than-stellar credit would face exceed the conservative estimates presented in figure 5.3.
