Making harasser think about his mother or sister leads to an apology!

In Stories, street harassment | on 02.16.11 | by Contributor | Comments ( 2 )

I was walking home–it was dark–and this car is slowly creeping behind me. Guy lowers his passenger door window and asked if he could “hollar” at me for a minute. I was scared, but I stopped and went OFF!

I asked him how would he like it if his mother or sister were walking and some random stranger came creeping up behind them.

I ended up getting an apology. :)
