I also really love these because often encounters with “That Guy” in real life can be deeply uncomfortable, isolating, and sometimes frightening experiences. These TikToks feel super joyful and communal, and point out just how ridiculous the patriarchy is, in addition to being a repressive and violent institution.

I have complete source forgetting about what clever woman said this where, but someone recently on something i was watching/listening too etc said that "creepiness" is the way we have to define something (to mostly other women) that someone (usually a man) is an implicit threat. That might seem so obvious that you're now thinking, duh, but when it was framed like that I was like RIGHT! That is what I have been saying! For social norm reasons you can't come right out and say your Volleyball coach is a potential threat, but you can say he's creepy and now every woman in that radius has their head on a swivel.

Loved these videos, horrified by the universal experiences we all have, but oh man, women are FUNNY.
