I got harassed on the street for the first time, today.

Him, yelling: “I like that skirt!"
Me: “Shut the fuck up."
Him: “It was just a compliment!"
Me: “No, it wasn’t. It was disrespectful. Stop being disrespectful towards women."
His friend: “It was just a fuckin’ compliment!"
Me: “No, it was street harassment."
His friend: “No it wasn’t!"
Me, while walking away: “Yes, it was."
Him: “Bitch"

All while on my way to the LIBRARY. Actually, it happened IN FRONT of the library. Women can’t exist in peace even when going to the fucking library.

My sister is embarrassed by me right now. I had to defend myself in front of a group of people, and she’s embarrassed because all these people saw the altercation. He’s the one who should be embarrassed.

I am so proud of myself right now. I don’t even know how I would have handled the situation a year ago, but today I was strong.

Holy crap, that was a compliment. When you kept pushing him, he called you a bitch and that might be seen as harassment, but saying “I like your skirt" is not fucking harassment. You’re just looking for reasons to be offended.

"I LIKE YOUR SKIRT!"

"YOU DISRESPECTFUL SHIT!"

… What?
