I've had this done to me twice. Both times I immediately put on my psycho face and said, very loudly, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING. Considering I'm just about 6'3 this caused both of those dudes to stalk away complaining under their breath.

Thanks for your note. I'm kind of glad it did. It was a turning point for me-I realized that I was under no obligation to waste time being polite to people who are bothering me. They get one chance to realize their attention is unwanted and make a graceful exit. When my friends call out the safety word, I have…

I had a guy online once tell me that women wearing earbuds while on a subway was "offputting". Um, that's the point. He then said he liked to pull them out and ask for their number. I hope some women kicked his dick.

UGH THIS. I posted a status on my FB the other day about an incident on a train - one of those moments where nothing violent happens, but your space and privacy is intruded upon and you have to make a split second decision about how you're going to respond because you know FROM FUCKING EXPERIENCE what the possible…

LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT, RIGHT?!?!?!?

"If I can't harass, intimidate and punch my way to true love, how will I ever find it? Must I die alone????"

"what, you think you can be in public and not have to talk to people?"

What will happen is:

Understood.

I've maced a couple of men(don't ask)& yes it is a mist but 98% will go on him so I really wouldn't worry about any sort of blow back. good luck :-)

My friend had a man openly masturbating, facing her, for a half hour bus ride. She was too afraid/uncomfortable to say anything (no one was stopping him and she would be the petite one in a group of woodland sprites, without any aid she felt helpless) and the car was too full for her to move. WHY IS THIS SHIT EVEN A…

Some men don't understand just how much we risk ourselves going out on dates with them, or even going to their apartments. Heck, sometimes even giving them your number is a bad idea. It reminds me of Louis CK'a bit "It's like you going out on a date with a bear/lion and saying 'Gee, I hope this one's nice."

My favorite is when people say, "Well, I don't like bars and clubs. How else am I supposed to meet a woman?!"

Oh this shit again. I remember when I was younger, I was not so much angry as just confused by men who got angry when rejected. I was shy but I guess attractive enough that I got this shit a lot. It started out as unreciprocated flirting and ended in telling everyone what a fucking bitch I was for thinking I was too…

I used to have a REALLY REALLY loud alarm I wore around my neck when I ran. If you pushed it against someone's head you could burst their ear drums. Most men would probably leave you alone if you pulled that-but in the world we live in, I bet the train police would cite you for making too much noise.

I wish men understood this. Some of them really don't get why women will only meet a man at public places when they're in the earliest stage of dating. Women always have to be on Murder Avoidance Duty.

OMG, that is so fucked up. It reminds me of the time I was riding the Paris metro to work early one morning and this dude sat next to me and asked me out for breakfast. I was like "umm no, it's 6am and I really just want to sit here in my pre-caffeinated grumpy haze." He got more and more agitated, started pacing…

Every time I see stuff like this all I can think of are the jerks who think that women have it easier in the dating pool. If this is how women get treated by strangers without any solicitation, I can't imagine what it must be like actually electing to go on a date with some dude you don't really know. That's some…

Between this horrible shit, the fact that 60 percent of the population seems to think it doesn't exist, and the official declaration that killing of unarmed black men is completely fucking legal if the murderer is white...this country is FUBAR.

He wasn't trying to steal her phone, he was just trying to put his number in there for when she changed her mind.
