Jerk Tries to "Get His Umbrella On"

I have to start by applauding this website. I heard about this site on the CW11 evening news. I hope it lets women know that it is NOT their fault. I only wish I had someone to tell me that when this incident happened to me.

As many new yorkers know, the 6 train isn't exactly the emptiest trains, especially during rush hour. On this specific morning, it was especially crowded. It was so crowded that something behind me was poking me on my butt. I turned around to see what it was and this bald headed man, wearing a shirt and tie was behind me, smiling as he held an umbrella to my butt. I made the mistake of maneuvering around to face him in hopes that he would be too embarrassed to be do something to me as I faced him. He decided to rub his umbrella on my crotch instead. While all this happened, my heart was leaping out of my chest and I kept thinking "I should scream, no, no one would believe me. They'll say I shouldn't have worn tight jeans. I can tell him to stop, but what if he has a weapon? But where could he go in this crowd? What if he hurts other people on this train? Who's going to believe me over a man in a shirt and tie?" A few seconds later, the train rolled into 42nd street, a large number of people got off and I got a chance to sit in the seat right by the door. He got off too and as he passed me he said "sweet pussy" with a smile on his face. For a long time, I was very angry at myself for freezing. I was angry that I didn't react, I was angry that I cried. Now, I'll just share the story with everyone else - maybe it'll better prepare anyone else this creep might try to get his umbrella on.

I heard about Holla Back today, and thought it was an awesome idea. Like most women in NYC, I get my fair share of harassment on the street. However, I did not expect that, just hours after finding out about Holla Back, I would have an opportunity to stand up to a perv! I was walking to the train after work when some guy gives me the jerk off sign as he walks by me. I moved away from him, and he took offense that I was "too good" for him. Apparently he does not realize that everyone is too good to be subjected to that kind of treatment. One obstacle to standing up to these guys can be that the whole encounter is often over very quickly. By the time it fully registers, the guy is gone and you're left feeling gross and powerless. But not this time. I stopped, pulled out my phone and started fumbling to turn on my camera. He stopped and waited to see what I was doing. I don't know what he thought. I can't imagine he believed that I wanted to get his number, but who knows with these guys! It was taking me forever to get my camera working, and he turned around to walk off just as I got my camera turned on. I followed him and yelled at him. He turned around, and SNAP, I took his picture. His response, "Bitch, I don't care what you do!" But his voice betrayed him. It was obvious that he did care, and that he didn't like it. The only down side to the story is that my adrenaline was so high that I didn't remember to hit save, so I don't have the photo. But the photo doesn't matter. What matters is that I stood up to that guy, and I'm going to keep on doing it! Pervs, look out, this woman is done with your shit, and I'm not going to take it anymore!

I prefer my horror films to have zombies, please.

I was on my way home from work in a skirt suit (occupational hazard), when Mr. Cool leans forward towards me, points at me, and slowly drags his fingers across his throat in a I'm-going-to-slice-your-neck-open kind of fashion. Stunned, I looked around and checked to make sure I didn't just walk onto the set of a horror movie. No such luck.

Ooooh baby, tell me what harassment is again?

This man was following a woman downtown, saying she should go home with him so they could "do it all night long, yeah baby oooh." He was faced away from me so I said "excuse me" and as he turned around I said "stop harassing women" and snapped this picture. As I walked away, he said, "That isn't harassment. This is harassment." I was faced away but two people walking in my direction gasped loudly, so I can only guess what he did. It felt great!
