I think Ezra has a point - and I struggle with labelling in this way. Your subjective interpretation and the language you use to describe someone has ramifications for their life. We saw it over here in the UK with Christopher Jeffries amongst others.

I think we have to be very clear at enforcing boundaries around behaviour but we must be also very wary at labelling other people when we don't understand their intention and when we have a vested interest in asserting our power.

I talk about Christopher Jeffries and the word 'bossy' in this article as a deconstruction of why we must be very careful labelling people as 'creepy' https://medium.com/p/52f7c30a290b
