Complete misrepresentation by SFGate and duplicated here. It’s true that there is no taboo zone reported by male subjects for female strangers; but look how dark the area is – certainly not indicated as ‘comfortable’. The graphics also show that woman were more comfortable being touched on arms, shoulders, and lower backs by both genders of strangers than men were. Although again, quite dark, so not particularly comfortable. Not necessarily the fault of Neatorama, but seems like confirmation bias from the original author.
