Because I don't want that to happen again and just generally because I've learned from experience, I stopped walking for a bit to let him walk on, far enough away. In the past, I'd not have thought of this or even felt that little, not fear, but just gut feeling "oh this again".

But after many repeated similar things, I just choose to change how I navigate the world, literally, to avoid well, creepy men. On some level it sucks, but on another, I do feel "privileged" I can see it.

When I was younger, I genuinely had no idea. And not being able to code creepiness, rapeyness, as what it is is a huge disadvantage. Huge. If you can't see it, it's really like not living in the real world.

Of course, the real change in the world would be if the men who did this stopped doing this, stopped giving a pass to other men. But realistically, I have to also protect myself.

This is not ok... Can you report to the authorities when you notice things like this?
-
I don't think the Metropolitan Police can do anything TBH. Or do you mean the rape threats?

Important for you to have some support in feeling safe - great you’re taking measures to take care of yourself and be alert and aware but it can’t just end there...

I feel more unsafe when I have workers round to my house and a few weeks ago the wind blew the roof off our place... So in the grand scheme of things I am lucky that my PTSD doesn't flare up due to this street BS.

This is very true. Sending you all the well wishes and vibes of feeling safe
