Creepiness, the state of being creepy, is a concept that ties closely into the reality of women's experience, as a gender, with Schrödinger's Rapist. It is used to describe the experienced likelihood of a person being a potential or intending rapist or harasser. What specifically counts as creepy is not easy to define. Two important criteria are
* subtleness (because if it isn't subtle, it's outright harassment, not merely creepy)
* and context.

* and context. Creepiness is largely measured by its effect on the recipient. Behavior that causes the recipient to become "creeped out" and uncomfortable is, by definition, creepy. Knowingly continuing the behavior after becoming aware of the recipient's discomfort is harassment.
