Makes Me Think - Today on the subway, I got harassed by a guy sitting next to me. He kept saying vulgar things and trying to put his arm around me. Finally, a stranger standing up next to us looked at the guy and said, “If you don’t leave my wife alone, I’m going to call the cops.” The vulgar man moved seats. MMT

Don't be nice. Be mean. I've seen girls harassed by male strangers who try to back away, who politely dismiss them, and that's not enough. If you're in a crowded place like the subway and don't need to worry about physical retaliation, get in their face. GO AWAY. LEAVE ME ALONE. I'M NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR CHEESE BREATH AND TINY DICK. Maybe get a small mace spray for your keychain when you're alone.
