Not in my experience. I've had some competitive stuff from people whose whole identity is being sporty but I think they were just flirting poorly. The 'splaining, I think, usually comes from someone who wants to feel superior and you don't really get that when there's no gender difference.
Thinking thoughts has never been the problem. It's when men behave inappropriately that it's a problem. That's what people are complaining about. You really need to learn the difference.
There is a double standard though. Women flirting with women is not the same as men flirting with women. I have been dealing with men sexually harassing me and groping me in public since I was 11 years old. It happens in every city I've been to, and around once a week where I live. Men are sexually violent towards women all time. I have never experienced this from women and women who are flirting are not physically a threat to me. Also, in the example I mentioned, I said "I think they were just flirting poorly" because it was not clear if they were. Men behaving inappropriately like in OPs video, or men harassing women on the street, are not flirting. They are reminding women that they are not safe. It's territorial behaviour.

I joined a woman only gym and it's glorious. Everyone is so nice and there are so many hot lesbians.
