Not sure about it as I’m not a woman.

But I do know from conclusive evidence that reading the daily mail = running into extremely stupid articles.

Yes, I've noticed many women have been aggressively "leering" at me ever since masks have been required.

It's very disturbing. ;)

There does seem to be some solid evidence in support of your claim.
 
I think people are just more sensitive/ more aware of eye movement etc because its the only thing they can see.

According to this, it is a rising problem, especially for women.

Is this something you’ve encountered?

I avoid most eye contact (I have a hard time looking at strangers in the eye), so no. :lol: I will say that I sometimes smile on instinct at someone, like the cashier or employee or whatever, but then I remember that they can't see ****. :lamo

I guess "aggressive eye contact" is like flexing your eyebrows rapidly?
 
In the absence of other communication cues (overall facial expressions) just relying on a person's eyes to interpret their "attitude/intention/meaning" is difficult.

I find it odd as I try to interpret a look from a pair of eyes above a mask. It can be uncomfortable in the most mundane circumstances like yesterday when I went grocery shopping and had a discussion with the cashier and manager over a sales promotion. Amazing how much we rely on nonverbal cues in our interactions.
