But this is not just an issue at night time.
I have had men do very similar things during the day when there are dozens of people going about their daily business.
One instance has always stuck in my mind. I was walking down Surrey Street to catch the bus after work and one man made a comment about my thighs and then shouted ‘I would like to have your thighs wrapped around my neck’. Not one person said a thing.
And there is the issue, nothing is going to change unless both men and women start challenging this behaviour. I’ve had female friends argue that a man slapping your bum in a bar isn’t sexual assault and male friends make inappropriate comments about women in my company. So, please talk to your friends, family and colleagues and have open discussions about how we can make women feel safe in this society.
