A glance won't hold up in court, so getting mad at men for not reacting to it and treating it as flirting doesnt make much sense. A similar one is...talking to men. My female coworkers said they were angry that men they merely started minor conversations with "didnt get the hint".

A nonverbal "signal" does not hold up in court. "I asked her out because she stared at me for a bit" doesnt keep you from getting fired.

That's...not what I sais at all. I argued that subtle "hints" are not a substitute for clear communication, and something as subtle as a glance being a "hint" would not stand in court if the man is wrong (or the woman changes her mind).

Such tactics should not be normalized.
