The other night I was walking across the street. The light was green for me but a car full of men didn’t stop and nearly ran me over. I flipped them the finger. The car stopped in front of me and the driver shouted: “I just want to fuck you”, to screams of laughter from his passengers. I was so mad. They reduced me to a mad woman shouting swear words at the back of a car. I was completely powerless. And scared. I didn’t know if that car was going to keep driving or if one of the men was going to get out.
