“I open my gate, he tries holding the gate open, I shut it in his face”

New submission from Cookie

This just happened.
Hadn’t been able to sleep so once it hit 7 am I went to the Coop on Camberwell New road to buy hummus so I can have some breakfast.

Once outside unlocking my bike, this kid comes riding by on his bright blue cruiser bike and asks me for a cigarette and I tell him I don’t have any tobacco, trying to quit atm.
He accepts this and keeps riding down, til he gets to the lights at Vassall road.

I get on my bike and ride down Vassall road and continue going homewards.
I hear his bike behind me and I ask him: Oh come on dude, it’s 7 am. Are you fucking kidding me?
He asks if I have a boyfriend.
I say yea.
And then he starts asking if he can lick my pussy, several times. And I go: seriously ? Kid, how Old are you ? It’s also 7 am. Fuck off.

Kid says: I can do it right now, I don’t care if it’s 7 am.
I’m 22.

I laugh and say; Yeah you look like 12, go home, go to bed.

Then he says he will be 20 in june.

We’re quickly approaching my home.

I open my gate, he tries holding the gate open, I shut it in his face and by now I’ve told him to fuck off 20 times, feeling more uncomfortable each time since he keeps following me.
I felt safe at my house because I live with 100 people that will back me up if he tries anything.
He kept asking me for a “sneak peek” as well.

I start carrying my bike in and he yells angrily at me, in that pre-pubescent voice that I’m a fat cunt . From the outside of our gate .

Which I btw find hilarious since I’ve accepted those words a long time ago, I love that I’m fat and I have a cunt!

I've got your back!

Some Hollaback facts:

- Street Harassment has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with power. Whether it's "Hey baby girl" or “You’d look good on me,” groping, public masturbation, or worse, these “compliments” aren’t about flirting or about chivalry either.

- If it makes you feel uncomfortable, it's not okay.

- If you feel intimidated, you DON'T need to 'take it as a compliment.'

- Street harassment is a gateway crime that makes other forms of gender-based violence OK.

- Studies conducted show that between 80-90% of women have been harassed in public.

- Street harassment may be the social and cultural norm, but it is far from OK. Street harassment teaches us to be silent, that taking action will only escalate the situation. While this isn’t bad advice, it has led us down a dangerous road. Ultimately, perpetrators realise they won’t be held accountable and continue to harass.

- Hollaback! was designed by a group of young people who were tired of being silenced and sought a simple, non-violent response. What has emerged is a platform where thousands of stories of street harassment have been told.

- We believe that by continuing to tell and map these stories, our voices will chip away at a culture that makes gender-based violence OK. Together we have the power to end street harassment, one Hollaback at a time.
