In tournament mixed, it's expected. I don't like to play tournament mixed because I don't like to play that way, partly because I can't move well enough anymore to take the whole court. I tried it a couple of times, both times with partners I had not had a chance to practice with, and both times my partners got frustrated with me because I wasn't taking up 75% of the court. I didn't find it to be much fun.
Now, in rec play most women don't really want the guy to do that because they actually want to play the ball. I would want to as well. I've been on the court with guys who want to crowd me and keep pushing me into a smaller part of the court. Sometimes even after a brief conversation they continue to do it. Sometimes it takes a smart wrap on the arm with a paddle to get the point across more convincingly. OOPS, sorry, I thought that was my ball.
