I was walking to class when a man walked out of a Rite Aid with 3 other people.

He said, “How’s it going sugar?”

I made eye contact.

He proceeded with, “An ass like that make a blind man wanna see again.”

I immediately felt as if it were my fault that I was being harassed.

I was wearing jeans a black t-shirt. Nothing about my outfit was revealing. It was terrifying.

We must raise awareness of harassment and how it affects men and women everywhere.
