Read this first of all.

My friend is in town, staying with another friend, and after hanging out I figured Id make sure he got back to his friends place in Wicker safely, so I went with him. Within a minute of getting off the train, I see a wanted poster for this guy. After this, Im pretty freaked out but me and my friend begin walking to the house. My friend stops for a second, saying he needs to look up directions quickly, so we do and he tells me that actually the guys behind us were making gestures and talking about me while I was looking at the fucking poster, and that they seemed to be following us.

So at this point Im actually getting really scared.

And I was able to walk down STANLEY HIGH STREET in the UK last summerIm usually pretty confident in my ability to defend myself despite being what is considered petite. I also hate the whole be with a friend, dont walk alone at night victim blaming thing, and dont want to buy into that.

But tonight I had to. I had my male friend walk me back to the CTA because that was how frightened I felt for my own safety.

Nobody, male or female, should ever feel that threatened because of assholes like this guy or the guys who were following and talking about me.
