Emma
I was walking through the park and noticed a figure behind a tree. At first I thought it was a couple making out but soon realised it was a man who was probably urinating or touching himself in public. He saw me and shouted at me. He said, ‘Hey beautiful. Hey sexy. Hey Sharon’. That’s not my name but he just picked a random woman’s name. I ignored him and started to walk a bit faster to get way from him. He then laughed wildly, like a Disney villain laugh, and shouted ‘Are you going to run?’. I was so concerned by him and made to feel vulnerable, but also hugely angry that he knows exactly what he is doing. He knew what he was doing was making me feel unsafe, and yet he finds this funny. It’s not funny. It took away my enjoyment from walking around the park and makes me question every time I want to go for a walk again.
