If we're going to go down that road...
The women who treat getting hit on like it's assault are missing the point completely. A guy who hits on you is not threatening to rape you, he's asking for consent. It's not "rape culture", it's "consent culture".
Not that there aren't any "pick ups" that are actually assaults, but simply attempting to pick up a woman is not violation of her person, yet I've certainly seen it treated as such. That only discourages men from asking, which is conterproductive to creating a culture of consent.
