Well in my trying to get ready quickly while i was very tired i didn't get the chance to eat breakfast, so i figured i'd walk down the street and get some mcdonalds or something. But on my way back this guy ( Read more... )

Oh ...God. You have to take control even when it doesn't seem like you have any. Isn't it fucked that a guy asks a question like that? If you're at a bar and he asks "Do you have a boyfriend?" and you do then the rules say he has to back off. You're property of another male, he respects that. The way to take the power away is to stop answering their questions. When he asks if you have a boyfriend yell "I'M NOT INTERESTED IN YOU, GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME." If you're in a public place (it sounds like you were somewhere fairly public, you were able to walk to the McDonalds) you should tell him you'll call the cops or just scream even louder. In the situation you described I know you must have been afraid and probably weren't able to think clearly, but if it ever has to happen again try to remember that you *do* have power. Also: I think we should take a self-defense class together, because now I'm worried about you. We can go to the Tae-Kwon Doe place. Maybe I can even get us a discount? I'll see what I can do. But I'm really sorry that ( ... )

I wasn't wearing high heels! i dont walk around in them on a normal basis. I only wear heels when i'm out with friends or on a date with my boyfriend or something along those lines. I've always wanted to take a self defense class. we should. but i don't know they cost money. Blah well i dont think of myself as property but yea he should have backed off. I don't know what he really expected i mean does a girl ever say, oh yea sure let's go fuck? People are just stupid. thanks though.

Hahahaha, seriously. And I wasn't insinuating you were wearing high heels, it was just a sort of random comment on my reasoning for not wearing them. But yeah, word. Expect to see Krista and I very soon. I love you.
