I don't remember the phone number bit (seems like something I *would* remember) but no way to be certain now I guess...
I *think* I agree with your "expected sequencing" description though "she went to a bar and flirted with guys" still carries a different image from "she went to a bar and a guy flirted with her", especially as reactionary CE can be (agree there).
Accepting a phone number isn't even always a bad thing in a vacuum. It's a safer/polite way to diffuse and escape a situation you're not actually going forward with.
I understand and agree with what you mean here about it carrying a different image. My bad being uncharitable with phrasing due to it being brushed aside while other minor offenses get lambasted.
But at the same time we can't be naive when realistically: If you're away from your spouse on a trip, you go to a bar, get approached by an attractive person and your answer isn't an immediate "sorry I'm married" but instead you bat around with the person and then post about how cool it was to the sweatiest group of 90s forum gamers on the internet... that's functionally going to a bar and flirting with dudes. And possibly entirely made up.
