Oregon Trail, 2015 edition: “you have died of bubonic plague”

I keep re-imagining the incident with me destroying him Kill Bill style. It is incredibly satisfying.

I called the police once when this guy was following me and kept on commenting on what a whore I was. He described - in detail - all the things that he would do to me and then tried to kick me when I asked him to leave me alone. The cops told me that there was nothing that they could do. That there was no proof and,…

I had a guy repeatedly touch my bare thigh (I was wearing a skirt) under the guise of pulling his phone in and out of his pocket (started as an accident I THINK but got pretty forward by the third and fourth time).

Derp, of course when I say “get your facts right”...I got my facts wrong. But still, my defense stands. I’ve never seen a change happen so fast on any level.

“There was no one to go to, no one to protect me,” he wrote. “The concepts of right and wrong, as I knew them, were twisted and upside down if they existed at all.”

I actually got socked in the face when I was 19, when I confronted a man who assaulted me. We were at this bar, and he comes up behind me and grabs me and starts grinding his erection against my ass. I start struggling, and after a while he laughs and lets me go. It was so humiliating, and there was only one other…

where he was shackled to his bed overnight

I did it once on a crowded subway in NYC. I was on my way home from work, reading, and some guy is leering at me from the seat across the way. At first I was scared, but then I started getting really pissed. I lowered my book and glared at him and just said “WHAT”. He was totally taken aback and just muttered “I ain’t…

Since EvilTwinPerson keeps deleting my responses to his very obvious trolling, I'd like to take this opportunity to tell him (yes, very obviously him) to suck a bag of dicks.

I disagree with you. If he was dong what she accused him of, especially little girls, he is a creep. It may have been slightly dangerous but if you think the police take stalking and sexual crimes seriously, then you are not a US citizen. You are on planet somewhere else.

Since the behavior is, weirdly, legal, evidence doesn’t much matter. Last time this happened to me I took the phone from the dude’s hand (he was leaning out of his friend’s car to take video), deleted it myself, and threatened to throw the phone over a bridge if he didn’t apologize.

Actually *pushes glasses up nose and clears throat* it was two days later, and the legislative body made the change, not the judicial body. And that doesn’t detract from the fact that the courts DID uphold it as legal. It was only AFTER the public outcry over the courts’ decision that Governor Patrick went over their…

I feel like since some courts have decided that’s ok I think public shaming is really all we have left. Good on her for passing on some humiliation, honestly.

That is very brave. Keep one hand on your pepper spray if you ever do anything like that again, tho.

You may be right, but the cops won’t do a thing. I think what she did stands a better chance of making this guy think twice next time than telling the cops will.

Seriously I was nervous too but she fucking nailed it. Great job on her part.

The yelling is beyond what she should have done because it edges into harassment, which is illegal, but I think following and filming him is kind of an ideal response because it is legal. As you said.

My heart is absolutely pounding watching that. I know it's risky to confront men but good for her and I admire her courage.

So dangerous, and brave. It takes serious guts to confront men in public. One time a man took a photo of me at a pizza place and I marched up and demanded he delete it while I watched. It was very scary! But I think it shakes them. Maybe if we all start being brave we can discourage creeps. Maybe not tho since…
