It's unfortunately everywhere though. When I was in high school, a girl in our friend group used to work at a video store that was open late and always had creepers coming in and just lingering or waiting outside until close. She would call on us to go there and help her close all the time because of it. The real kicker was that one of the most persistent creepers was a cop.

Don't worry, he's just a city councillor now.

People need to take this #### seriously. Man or women.

You mean you didn't just find it flattering?
Obviously it shouldn't be dismissed, but perhaps her laughter was along the lines of "come back to me when this starts happening to you multiple times a day like women experience".

The big challenge here is most of these incidents are implicit, not explicit. Maybe we're getting a little bit better, but I don't think society is really ready to empathize with women/victims without a 'smoking gun' (and even then vocal victims open themselves up to a lot of disgusting further abuse).
