“when he caught up with me he whispered in my ear are you a virgin and pinned me against a wall and began to grope my bottom”
New submission from Dani
I have been warranting unwanted attention from men from the age of 11, even when I was in my school uniform and usually I ignore it but this incident was particularly bad.
Almost a year ago a man in a leather cap was walking in the opposite direction turned and began to follow me home, when he caught up with me he whispered in my ear are you a virgin and pinned me against a wall and began to grope my bottom. I was carrying four bags so could not stop him. I felt so powerless and weak. He then said I will see you tomorrow right here.
I have only just started to walk that route home again. However, last week another man followed me he also changed the direction he was walking in, simply to make stupid kissing noises behind me.
Men like these have meant that I no longer feel safe walking home from college, which used to be my only form of exercise consequently I’ve gain a stone in weight

I sympathise with you about walking less etc. – street harassment really is bad for your health. I’d love to go running but I just find it too difficult to deal with the comments and constant stupidity. I also feel uncomfortable going to mixed-sex gyms for the same reason. So I’m getting steadily unfitter. WTF.
I live in Berlin and I am sorry to read so many stories like this one, taking place in London. I was hoping that in London the situation is better, and I am sorry to see that this is not the case.
All I can say is, that nothing is as bad as the feeling of being helpless. It is always better to do something. I would report both events to the police!!
