All of the reasons why my past women sex partners and myself gravitated towards each other.

“How can I help? If you see street harassment happening, there are a few ways you can potentially help if you feel safe enough to do so. When in doubt, assume you should help. If you are not sure whether a situation is harassment or not, assume that it is and ask the person being harassed if they need help. You can say something like “Are you OK?” or “Are they bothering you?” Step in. If you can, practice bystander intervention by calling out the harasser on what they just did and why it was not acceptable. You can say something like, “You just touched that man when he didn’t want you to. That’s not OK. Stop harassing people.” Check in with the person being harassed. If you see harassment occur, consider asking the person who was harassed if they are OK and if they need any help. Report. You can report that you witnessed harassment to public transportation officials, law enforcement, or the harasser’s employer. You can also help to end street harassment and increase awareness around the issue in a couple different ways. Never blame the victim. If someone tells you about street harassment they have experienced, the best thing you can do is to listen without judgement and tell them that they did not deserve what happened. You should never reduce their experiences by saying things like “this happened to you because you’re so beautiful,” or “maybe you shouldn’t have worn that dress today.” Share your experiences. If you feel comfortable doing so, talk with people in your life about street harassment when it occurs. This can not only let others know that they are not alone in these experiences, but can help to raise awareness of the frequency of street harassment and its harmful effects among those who haven’t experienced it. Call out your friends. If you witness your friend harassing someone on the street by cat-calling them, whistling, making a sexual comment, repeatedly asking for their information, etc., tell your friend to stop. Take time to explain to them why what they did was harassment and that it is wrong. Where can I learn more or get help?
