noweverydaysastruggle asked: It's not offensive, no. It's worrying. It's worrying that people can find "Hello" a threat now
noweverydaysastruggle asked: The completely drunk-off-their face guys are not nice to me either, but I do not scream at them.
noweverydaysastruggle asked: You have a strange idea of harassment tbh. I live in an awful area, and I'm only 17, around the corner I have a load of pubs filled with drunks 24/7, and rapists are often in the news. But when people come to me, obviously try and get my attention, and say "hello" I don't freak out. If that was harassment, he would have followed you after you left.
jacksonvanmatre asked: I think it's sad we live in a society that these strange encounters with men are things women have to worry about.
redlipsandfishnets asked: I think it's pretty fucked up that you have to explain your rationale to internet strangers. You shouldn't have to justify your story by giving them more details.

Because when they do, they're told that they're over reacting or rude or snobby or need to get laid, it's just ridiculous. If women don't start to stand up for themselves in a forceful manner, men...
victorielisa asked: It's so odd to see people replying to something that obviously shook you up and disturbed you, and instead of trying to comfort you, they just tell you you are wrong or assumed the wrong thing. I agree with you, I'd rather not wait around to find out what someone's intentions are. Also, you don't have to be a feminist to feel violated.
Harassment post
failurebydesignxo:
I’ve seen people reblogging the post made by thedame about harassment saying they don’t see the problem in somebody walking up to somebody and saying hello, especially if it is a male saying hello to a female. Correct, there is nothing wrong with greeting somebody, although slightly socially unacceptable if you don’t know who they are, I don’t say hello to random people in...
moonturnedtoblood asked: i also live in a dodgy neighbourhood, full of uncouth teenagers and gypsies, but that doesn't mean that i'm going to shout at people and push them away from me if they say hello. being polite and harassing someone are different things.
