Hey, how do y’all not deck someone when faced with street harassment? Like someone shouting something obscene at you, following you and calling you slurs, or outright touching, shoving, threatening, or groping you? I’m curious.

These are all instances I have actually decked someone and everyone always says I’ve overreacted. Unfortunately I got the “fight” response in the fight, flight, or flee fear response and end up running after and finding some hidden corner to shake like a leaf in but I have a few I’m gonna need to relearn that in coming years or just stay at home.

Just make sure you keep the cameras rolling, try to have a buddy or two. Mace works. There’s this new stuff that marks your assailant blue for a few days.

Self defense classes.

Know your local laws, obviously. But if you get their initial assault on camera, that can’t hurt.
