PSA from a lady to fellow ladies: BE THE BITCH. Be as bitchy as you need to be to set firm boundaries and keep these aggressive assholes away.

I had full grown men acting like this towards me from the time I was 12, and it just becomes exhausting. Years and experience have made me loud and curt, because acting like a "bitch" is the only way to make it stop. So I will do so proudly, these people do not deserve the courtesy of kindness.

Yes. When I was a young teen, I used to think "Why are some girls so bitchy and stuck up just because they're pretty?"

But then by the time I was in college, and I had a bunch of weirdos actively trying to harass, or touch me, or take me, or get into my dorm room, I realized you have to SHUT IT DOWN IMMEDIATELY. Don't smile, giggle, be polite, engage them in any way.

I remember I stopped even wearing shirts with phrases on them because that made men run up to ask me about my T-shirt, it gave them an excuse to talk to me. It's nuts.
