Being creep-shamed is part of being creep-zoned. Once you've been labeled a creep, everything you do, say, or wear, no matter how normal it is, will be seen as de facto evidence that you're a creep.
"He coughed when I walked in the room. What a creep!"
"He said 'Good morning' to the teacher. What a creep!"
"He wore white socks. What a creep!"
Yet, when someone who has not been creep-zoned does these same things, nobody cares or even comments on them.
That's because the creep moniker is not applied based on the actions of the creep. It is a title bestowed upon them by those more popular than themselves. In every instance where someone has been labelled a creep, there is at least one female who believes herself to be of greater worth than said creep.
In the majority of cases, the female in question likely holds to an ideology that pays lip-service to the notion of equality too.
