It is interesting to hear about some of the confrontations on here that men experience. As a woman, I may get the occasional horn honk now and again, but in the 12+ years I've been bike commuting, I've never had people come after me or try to pick fights. I can only attribute this to gender, as my male colleagues who bike commute always have similar aggression-filled confrontation stories when they get to work. Although I do get a lot of sexually-explicit comments thrown my way that I could do without.
