I will share 3 separate instances that stood out to me this year, last year and the year before that.
This year, while walking around a mall with my boyfriend, a young boy yelled out to us to ask if we were going to have sex that night. I told my boyfriend while walking back in that direction later that if he was still there I anted to punch, or at least slap him because someone needs to step up against that behavior.
Last year, I was waiting for the bus to take me from work to school and a man came up to me and strikes up a conversation, which is fine, except that I could feel his eyes undressing me and he kept making comments about my legs (only bear from the knee down) and I was so thankful that the bus was actually on time that day and he did not follow me on, because he actually had a car and decided to stop and wait at that stop so he could keep admiring my physical appearance. I started bringing a change of clothes for after work. (I have also been cat called numerous times including while wearing big, loose clothes that I would wear to hide my form and a base ball style shirt and regular jeans)
I had a cleaning job where the guy would rent out the place via air B&B, and I would clean it after each guest. The guest was supposed to be gone by thte time I got there, but he was still in the process of leaving, though almost gone. I went to the studio above the garage to go ahead and start cleaning and the man comes up and starts making advances on me. I could tell he was a bit drunk, I doubt he noticed but he walked slowly towards me, while I slowly backed up and he was blocking the only exit to the room. He proceeded to say things like, “Your eyes are beautiful, you are beautiful” which is fine, but then he escalated to “Are you available this evening? I’d like to take you out to dinner. I’d like to make out with you. I’d like to hook up with you. I’d like to hook up forever with you” as he proceeded to undress me with his eyes. I was terrified. I said “no, I have plans with my boyfriend this evening” to which he responded, “Oh, I will not emproach on HIS TERRITORY” and finally slowly started backing off before he actually left.
