Behaviour that is seen as abusive towards women is above all that which leaves no doubt as to intention and context: propositions of a sexual nature made to a woman who is a stranger, or deliberately touching her in a sexualised way. Women are more likely than men to classify all the behaviours included in the question as definitely abusive to people of their gender, while men are more inclined to treat them in the category of compliments.

More on this subject in the forthcoming CBOS report.
