How do you handle harassers, stalkers, creepy or thirsty people?

How cute. I got cornered by gangs a couple of times. Cat-calling doesn't mean shit to me... but does it make me feel like a hand bag in a store? Yup Yup. Not sure about "your state" but in Germany... feminism is MUCH needed.

egalitarianism IS feminism it people who abandon the word and leave it just for those nutjobs that are just as bad do you ask why humanitarian doesnt work with animals too?? catcalling is more then "aaye girl" and even then its rude and can make you feel scared also, if swearing at someone is verbal harassment, why isnt catcalling? it is not "freedom of speech" when its making someone uncomfortable and scared

I think I stand alittle closer too the middle then you two. While feminism is needed it does get pushed to far often atleast in America. As for what I think Spike is trying to say is that this topic in particular isn't a feminism issue. It's a treat people like equals and not like your playthings issue. I m sorry both of you have had hard experiences but Spike do try not to aggressively escalate conversations. It may not be intended that way but it reads as a attack.

That's cute, too... but women face these "issues" a lot more often than men. My male friends don't randomly get groped. Nor do people take pictures of them just because. I think it's sad that men only learn how to actually respect a woman when they have a daughter.

i always recommend a women should carry mace or a taser if shes alone, and if her country doesnt allow concealed weapons (bullshit) then use an alarm gadget if your in trouble also my mom taught me that if your being cornered in a car park you should put your car keys between your fingers and use it as a weapon also never wear a pony tail when in a car park, iv heard predators tend to go after women in pony tails more often because it can act as a handle

Putting all men in that lowlife category is unfair too Xynomi. Just because you haven't had experience with male harassment doesn't mean it's a issue that should be ignored.

i dont think she was, brass she was comparing it to her male friends
