According to author Julia T. Wood,
"men go into women's spaces more than women enter men's spaces’’ (Wood
2007, p. 144). With this in mind, we can understand that men typically have a
stronger sense of ownership and are more likely to challenge others'
boundaries. People respond to invasion of ’territory in different ways
depending on what their comfort norms are. Wood (2007) presents three common
responses:
1. When someone moves too close for comfort,
you might step away, giving up your territory. This reaction is typical of
feminine people.
2. When people have to fit into close spaces,
they often look down as a submissive way of showing that they are not trying to
invade others' territories.
3. When someone moves too close’ you might
refuse to give up your territory. This reaction is typical of masculine people.
The term stimulated Edward T. Hall to
create the word proxemics, which
refers to how people use space, but not necessarily how people communicate
ownership.
