I've been on the receiving end of that kind of thing as well, so I stepped in and he directed his aggression to me, which was ok, since I've learned to deal with that kind of thing to a degree. For some time I always seemed to be the "first address" for creeps out of a group of people and since I decided to toughen up about it, this has definitely declined.<BR/><BR/>Some weeks ago there was another drunk insulting the people at the bus stop individually. When he came up to me I looked him into the eyes and lifted my chin just a bit. He passed on. Even in his state he understood that his crap wouldn't work with me. Of course the situation wasn't pleasant anyway. Galadarling has written a great article about this, which is really worth reading: http://galadarling.com/article/avoiding-creeps<BR/><BR/>It really sucks that some creeps can keep women from wearing a basic skirt! I really don't want to let those people have that extent of influence on other people's life. I really understand your anger!Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357425823614528495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13973394.post-40236532263143235402007-09-29T13:49:00.000-05:002007-09-29T13:49:00.000-05:00Catcalling and the like rarely go beyond that, unc...Catcalling and the like rarely go beyond that, uncomfortable though it may be. Just ignore it. If you're traveling through truly sketchy neighborhoods, you'd do well to worry more about your personal safety than this type of annoyance - maybe try losing the big baubles and nice bag next time, which basically scream "money." Stuff like this just makes you stand out more...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13973394.post-3193143689913643502007-09-28T12:21:00.000-05:002007-09-28T12:21:00.000-05:00I know what you mean!

In my experience though, if you're identifiably female there's nothing you can do to prevent those sort of comments.The Spicershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667011381331956751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13973394.post-59252481540528195342007-09-27T21:11:00.000-05:002007-09-27T21:11:00.000-05:00I have a theory: in western terms, the more classi...I have a theory: in western terms, the more classist and consumerist a city is the more sexual harassing for women exists.<BR/>Sexual oppression exist in the western world when men restate their power (or lack of it) in front of women...It is all about power. The question is...if ALL women in NYC HATE the treatment why there is no ANY type of group assertion about it? It is really interesting that having all the power we have the bearing harassment as lifestyle continues.MARIA Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18354454820937313175noreply@blogger.com
