YAAASSS!!!! Sometimes it starts as just staring…. but then you get the creeps who will follow you. Be aware of your surroundings and if you see something happening/happen, don’t be afraid to “get in the line of sight” or saying something!
even if you’re “not all men,” if you’re in a position to do or say something when you see this type of aggression and don’t, you’re complicit and still part of the problem
stop whining and learn
Yes, this! Especially when you KNOW the person. I’ve been in so many situations where some guy (often a coworker) decided to get his creeper on, and all I ever wanted was for someone else to call him out instead of pretending to not notice what was going on. It’s exhausting having to be the one to say “stop” every time. It’s exhausting having to deal with some arsehole’s “i just meant it as a bit of friendly teasing” over and over again.
Please take action when you see this kind of stuff happening. Doesn’t matter if it’s creepy staring or physical advances - DO something so we’re not left to feel alone and even more traumatised.
