Victim of flirting on the street explains what annoys her compliments men
A week ago, I got on the tram before I could pay my fare, when someone slapped me on the ass. I turned around and saw an old man who smiled and congratulated me on the holidays. Those shrunken potatoes ruined my day. Worst of all, there were men sitting around and no one was even outraged, everyone was sitting silently and pretending, Like nothing happened.. I was horrified by the society we live in. Decades pass and nothing changes in the world. Worst of all, what is a kind of acquaintance on the street or on public transport is considered illegal. This means that the offender continues his abominable activities with impunity.
Women have to tolerate the immoral behavior of male individuals, censorship does not allow them to be called otherwise, and it is impossible to bring these individuals to justice. Here’s another story from my life that happened about 10 years ago: I was walking along the waterfront from school, and a crowd of guys 5 years older than me ran towards me. Three feet away, they started laughing at something. As the crowd ran past, one of the guys, very dense build, on the move snuggled to my cheek and as if nothing had happened ran further. Thank you for not talking! There was a sister next to me, and it was probably funny from the outside, but I wasn't even funny. I went home and rubbed my cheek with laundry soap until it turned red and started to hurt from friction.
One summer in a trolley, I heard two men in their 40s talking about me. One began whispering something in the other’s ear, gazing at the cleavage area. And the second one said, "Let's go to the stop early or I'll put it right here." Seriously?! In a trolley with three dozen people? I'm sure these two skipped ethics classes in high school.
It's only three stories. Probably a dozen that happened to me. How many women are there in the world? I’ll tell you right away that I’ve never worn fancy clothes and a deep neckline, especially in transport. This is for those who like to say “she provoked her appearance”. No, she didn't. Even if there are nice people on the street, this is not a reason to touch them. We need to educate our children with decent people who Do not violate personal space Strangers just because they wanted to.
There are countries where you can prosecute people who watch you on public transport for more than 5 minutes. Like the United States? Write in the comments if I am wrong. In our country and most of the others. Street harassment is considered trivial.. The feeling that someone has violated your personal space, touched, spoken indecently in your address is depressing.
Such situations traumatize the psyche, a woman begins to fear everything and may never even get close to a good man, only because someone unscrupulous touched her without permission or offended her.
Catcalling is a term that is used to denote the concept of “harassing on the street”, translated as “meowing”. Only, as Emily May, executive director of the Hollaback movement, put it, is to downplay the problem: "Meowing a cat can be annoying, but it doesn't cause fear."
Hollaback is a movement that opposes street harassment. In a report published with Cornell University, more than 50 percent of women surveyed in 22 countries said they had been grabbed by strangers or deliberately touched in traffic.
People should be aware that harassment on the street is not a harmless acquaintance. And when you see someone being bullied, you can help the victim, don't be indifferent. Make contact with the victim of harassment. It could be a teenager or an equally frightened woman, ask her if she's okay. Distract the offender. You don’t have to create a conflict situation, just ask what time it is, for example.
If your friends molest women on the street, tell them you're against this behavior. Never think it's none of your business. It can happen to anyone, think of your daughter, sister, girlfriend. It is time to stop permissiveness, this world is already slipping below nowhere. To keep silent about the problem is to encourage the behavior of unbred people. Agreed?
