How awesome is she? And how much do I wish she weren't unusual?
When a sexual predator pressed his condom-covered penis against a woman on the subway, he had no idea what he was in for.
I LOVE that she just calls him out, right there, no holds barred. He turned out to be a registered sex offender, who served is serving four months in prison before being deported. If she hadn't had the courage to stand up for herself then and there, getting the other passengers on her side, who knows how long it would have been before he was caught? Here's a follow-up post with a few more tips from her. "We can bring the shame back on the person that deserves it."
And I know I've linked to it before, but for those who are new or missed it the first time around, check out this amazing post about how the rules that society teaches women to "prevent" rape are the very things that perpetuate rape culture. So set boundaries, be firm, yell, make a scene, fight them off with a fucking stick--because you are allowed to and YOU ARE WORTH IT.
