It's your space!It's 2010! It's real shitty that any of this has to be repeated at all, or even ever to begin with.
Public contact cannot be avoided but sometimes you may feel someone has come too close and made you angry, or upset you by saying something about your body or touching you without permission. It's a criminal act that only you can stop.

Schrodinger's Rapist is an excellent piece. Sexual harassment is an extension of the sense of entitlement some men feel towards female bodies, and it's sad that in this day and age there are those who think that responses of fear and shock to assaults are "overreactions" to "compliments".
ReplyDeleteAs you said: It's 2010, and it's shitty that this still has to be said.
