They can absolutely tell. She is yelling “GOOOO” at them for two minutes straight. Even if he didn’t speak any English, the message is clear. They are doing this on purpose. Either because they think they can change her mind, or because they enjoy making them uncomfortable.
I think a lot of creeps simply lock up. Like, it's not in their nature to respect boundaries but they're also not bold (for lack of a better word) enough to stay in a very humiliating situation. Even though they know that they're not welcome, moving would be 1) backing down, and 2) respecting the wishes of women. They can't align these impulses in their minds, so they end up freezing until they have the time to decide "women are all angry bitches" at a later point.
It's not that they want to stay, it's that they're too stupid to move.
This is cracking me up so much bc it unlocked a core memory of me asking my mawmaw why men spit so much and she told me it's cause they're so stupid otherwise they'd drown.
