| This is really interesting. I experience such things a lot but my husband seems to have fewer problems. I have been thinking what the reason could be.
I came to the following two conclusions:
- Some people are really nondescript, almost invisible. They are unlikely to stick out in a crowd. They avoid eye contact with others, listen to music with headphones. Someone looking for a person to be aggressive against is unlikely to pick them.
- It happens more to women. Women are unlikely to confront men but they will happily attack their own gender. Add to this the male half of the population and a woman is more likely to be the target of aggression while men are usually confronted by other men, hence are only likely to be targeted by one half of the population.

I think being a female it's actually an advantage when dealing with the police (I might be wrong though). For minor traffic offences they seem a bit more indulgent, for other situations - thanks goodness I didn't have to deal with them.
As for the rest of all those "microaggressions" - yes, I tend to agree with you. It does happen more frequently to women.
