Totally disagree for once, a woman’s sense of creep is based on rape risk. This is why men don’t really understand it, since women are the physically weaker sex. Sure, some women lie and overuse the term creepy when it doesn’t apply, but changing the word woman to include men in dresses doesn’t apply to normal people either.
The ironic misuse of the “creepy” slander by women toward men is in part a case of psychological projection by the unfairer sex. Commenter “Not Thought Police” explains:
Ahh “Creep”
Never attribute to internal failing that which can be explained by a woman’s inherent need to emotionally project.
Do not pass go. Do not validate. Do not entertain her musings until projection is ruled out first.
This holds true for many facets of femininity but i think in no other place does it hold more weight than the concept of male creepiness:
A woman, in vetting a man, will:
Gossip with friends, look through his private stuff, his books, his music, find out his political leanings to the n’th-degree (from his feminist sensibilities right down to how he feels about trade agreements n shit), how he feels toward his mother, how much he earns, is he carrying a mental illness…

“True, but men do this as well. Entitlement is the same thing as creepiness, is it? More a symptom of the Internet era. A man would be wise to Google a potential date, for example, in case of rape accusations or rabid feminism.”
Except he’d never find anything about any woman’s reprehensible behavior aside from notorious women who are publicly proven liars.
Besides, creep means “man who doesn’t interest me but still pursues me,” while the word to describe rapists is “rapist.” A label, I remind you, women are willing to use upon men who are not rapists.
If a woman calls a man a rapist, he should avoid her (for innumerable reasons). Roissy provides ample explanation why the “creep” label deserves no deference.
Creep is a feeling. Men can get it too, in a far less sexual context. If you feel you’re being followed or watched by a gang, you’ve got the creeps. It doesn’t deserve deference from the liars but there is a genuine use they’re distorting.
