An interesting experience I had today- a fundraiser shouted at me today after he attempted to get me to stop and I carried on walking- it was a pretty innocent comment, nothing sexual, but it made me feel intimidated and stressed.
It bothered me so much that when I got back home I went straight back out to confront the guy- he turned out to be a very nice guy who was very apologetic- he hadn’t realised how intimidating his behaviour was and was glad that I had gone back to speak to him. Being the older brother of 4 sisters he was keen to express his abhorrence of men that harass women.
I was pleasantly surprised at his attitude- he was happy to listen and learn. It gave me hope!
