While not a common occurrence, it happens to women more than men realize. That's not a knock against men. Why would men realize it? I've had complete strangers follow me home, and attempt to get into my house more than once. Were talking followed me from Home Depot and the grocery store! I've been propositioned while being ticketed for speeding. I've been grouped by unknown men on dance floors, on a and city bus, and in a Walmart isle. The list goes on, but my point is I can't imagine these things ever happening to men.

Then there's my friend here in FL. At 18 she was abducted at knife point leaving Holmes Beach. When he went to open the car door, she stomped on his foot and ran. He was later arrested and convicted.

He's 100% blocked, and I'm not replying. I want nothing to do with him.

My neighbor, a retired deputy of 20+ years, said it doesn't fit sexual assault, but battery. He said I handled it perfectly, and odds are the man likely has prior charges. He asked what I'd do if the guy shows up. I said IDK, I'm a lousy shot. To that he said, "call me. I'm a good shot."
