A kids looking at your Bewbz isn't harassment. Good thing you're not president; all guys would be forced to wear blindfolds and castrated at 14. Get over yourself.

boners, you sound like you're quite jealous the guys weren't talking about you..

I don't think you understand how degrading it is to be thought of as an object/sex toy by complete strangers. Do you have any personal experience with this at all? Or are you just spouting nonsense because you're butthurt?

Says the chick with her cat as her profile pic. U prolly wish they were talking about u lol! Later cat lady

Your post is the first mention of rape on this page. I am aware it is a sickening crime. The OP's description, however, was not rape. Please don't be part of the problem.

I realize that the OP did not experience rape. But rape culture encompasses more than just the one act. It's the idea that victims of all kinds of sexual violence (including harassment) are to blame - that women should avoid drinking, talking to strangers, or walking alone at night, in case they're assaulted. It should not be the responsibility of the victim to not be harassed, assaulted, or raped. I'm honestly not sure what you meant by "don't be part of the problem".

They should still do something about it. Just sitting there listening to it isn't good either. It sends the wrong message when she obviously doesn't like it, it's even worse when the one person that can do something about it won't. She should of moved or left the tram and called the company when the driver said that. Because the next level of that situation could of been a physical encounter but why sit there and allow it to get that far? I understand it's not her fault that man is a pervert and it's not her fault the bus driver is an ass. But she does have the power to get away from a bad situation. Just sitting there isn't helpful. Being on time to work or an appointment is not worth your safety I ride the bus and had to get off two times because people harass me. I simply called my employer and explained. Just saying.

"Being on time to work or an appointment is not worth your safety" I totally, completely agree. That said, though, what if she moved and they followed her? What if she got off the tram and they did too? What if they took that as an invitation to escalate things? And really, who's to say that she didn't move or leave after telling the driver? We don't know. Telling her what she should have done is unacceptable - instead of saying "Don't be harassed" to the victims, we should say "Don't harass" to the people who are actually responsible. I agree, though, that she should call the company to report the driver - his actions (or lack thereof) were appalling.
