Another thread blaming the woman for the man's behaviour.
Please. Stop it.
You are always extremely defensive about anything a man says regarding women. I didn't blame or generalize all women. I made it clear that this is some things I personally observed about some women.
How are guys ever supposed to discuss things about women if every time they are attacked by people like you who just accuse everyone of bashing? I think it's a legitimate question, and it wasn't expressed in an offensive, rude, or condescending manner.

Report her then. I agree with you. She's out of line.
I often hear women discuss their ideas of creepy, boorish, overly aggressive, or sexist behavior.
But what I see in reality is that the "offensiveness" of the behavior depends on whether they are attracted to, or are interested in a guy.
If a guy is unappealing, nothing he does when approaching some women will seem appropriate. No matter what he says or does, there will be some criticism of his words, actions, or intentions. But when a guy who she likes do the same exact thing, it's seen as bold, creative, and taking charge.
Of course this doesn't apply to all women, but it's something I have seen quite often.
There is a difference in sexist behavior and perceiving someone as creepy, boorish or aggressive.
It is human nature to be more accepting of behavior when you are attracted to that person. Men are no different in the way they treat women. Society in general will accept the behaviors/actions of beautiful, fit, rich, or powerful people while condemning those exact same behaviors/actions of ugly, fat, poor and insignificant people.
It's probably proportional to the amount of crappy, crazy, or high-maintenance behavior a dude will put up with when it's from a woman he thinks is hot, when he wouldn't give a plainer, down-to-earth girl a second look.
I guess I'm an anomaly. I've dealt with enough rude people in my life that I'd rather be with someone who is down to earth.

NEWSFLASH-
Women are quite capable of deciding what they find sexist and what they don't, without having to explain themselves to anyone.
For example, I find a thread that states "how consistent are women" to be highly sexist as it lumps us all in as one ginormous emotionally retarded bunch of simpletons who cannot even decide who they want to date or not, in case they offend some self-proclaimed "nice guy".
We don't owe you an explanation or a justification for who we choose to date.

Just curious, do you go in an slam threads about "men" in general as well? I agree they have limited value, if any, but they are rather common in forums like this.

There are far more threads putting women down than there are putting men down. Over the many years I have been on this forum there has been a consistent stream of guys who either don't like women or don't understand them. The anti male threads are indeed few and far between.

You should calm down a bit.
I didn't put down or generalize women. I clearly stated in the original post that all women don't behave this way, but I have observed it.
If you have never seen this, fine. This thread isn't directed at you.
