This happened few days ago in Genève. I went to a theatre, to see a really nice act and on my way there I got harassed by a bunch of men. I was walking on a sidewalk in the park, and there they were – on every single bench were sitting men wolf-whistling, gasping, saying that I am sexy, hot, that they want me to suck them up and they just carried on and on.
I was not dressed very challenging, and I had a coat on me as well, that covered my body.
It just felt like they think that they are saying whole lot of compliments. It felt like on my forehead is written – “please, fuck me!”, at least they acted if it was. And these men, they think that I should be grateful for receiving those “compliments”, that I should let all of them do me there in the park, on the bench, and be happy for it, and beg for more!
It was not just annoying or rude, I didn’t feel safe. My knees were tottering, and heart was beating like I would be running for at least an hour! I was so scared! And happy, when I finally reached the building.

I actually remember a girl at my school wearing a hat that said “Fuck Me Please”. She still wouldn’t deserve harassment.

No one deserves harassment. It is not a thing someone could deserve. This is one of the most worse humiliation forms.

How horrible. I am so sorry. Thank you for sharing. i believe if we keep talking about it eventually it will not be socially acceptable for men to behave this way!
