I have mixed feelings about all this, too. Creeping, stalking, disrespectful catcalling, etc is OF COURSE not ok. It's emotional assault. "Thank you for the information that you are someone to be avoided..."

I find it amazing how many articles there are on how to substitute different things for a steam iron. You can get a decent iron for under $20. Then the board is maybe another $5-10. And it's not like they're on the moon; they sell them everywhere.
