Actress Brie Larson described an experience with a TSA agent recently that had many horrified both by the described experience as well as some of the reaction:

The responses to this is horrifying. Women and men both do not see how invasive and inappropriate this is. It's not "cute." https://t.co/2fRbNkoWFK

Wow the responses to this tweet are fully disheartening. No one wants to be hit on when you’re just trying to travel in peace. https://t.co/9inD2PfgRU

The replies of people who can't grasp that this is a fundamentally inappropriate imposition in that dynamic are infuriating https://t.co/UMXC9u6D22

Here’s what Larson said happened at an airport:

I merely smiled at a TSA agent and he asked for my phone number. To live life as a woman is to live life on the defense.

But believe it or not, many women didn’t exactly consider Larson’s described experience very horrifying, but rather mock-worthy. Feminists, prepare to be triggered:

Take note of the real offense here: daring to think he was fit to address a member of a superior class like an equal. https://t.co/rumxvRs7zr

See, most women are 1) flattered, 2) can politely decline, & 3) not bitch about a common human interaction on Twitter like a victim. https://t.co/EKjMfeBwUi
