I was walking home from graduate school at around 2 am, on 9th Ave and 54th St, wearing a large sweater, leggings and rain boots. Then, a middle-aged white man in business attire, who was standing outside a bar said, “excuse me.”
I thought he was going to ask for directions, so I replied politely, “Yes?”
Instead, the pervert said, “Can I squeeze your little titties?”
I was so shocked that all I could say was, “You are disgusting,” and walked away. I looked back to see if he was following me, but thankfully he just kept standing there like a creep.

Golden Silence says
What you were wearing should not matter—he was an ass who’d harass you regardless of what you were wearing. It makes me mad that these men do this!
Gabby says
Not that it would have made the situation better, but I probably would have responded with “can I yank your little balls?”
