How to punish very rude men who have no boundaries?

Question

I often get stopped on the streets with men sucking face, asking lewd, inappropriate sexual questions, etc...and I'm always confused since I'm pretty reserved.

How can I prevent this from happening, and if not, PUNISH men who act this way?

Do all women have to go through this c**p?

Answer 1

We all get weirdos from time to time, what are you going to do besides tell them to **** off?

I had my butt grabbed by a 70 something year old woman in a supermarket. I've had horny 13 year old girls make inappropriate comments, I've got c**p from g*y dudes, fat drunk chicks, a friend's middle aged aunt and numerous people who should just plain know better.

Avoid the weirdos, give them a piece of your mind and move on. We all get that, even average-looking young men like me.

Answer 2

yeh, we all have our crosses to bare

Answer 3

Stupid isn't as stupid doesn't......

Answer 4

i never could understand this behavior, i suppose that is why i never have joined in on such things. To me it seems rude, obnoxious, degrading and down right harassing.

far as punishing them well i really not sure there is a good way to do that perhaps by simply ignoring them.

Answer 5

How sad people find you attractive lol. But, I guess it can get annoying um try wearing jogging suits all the time. Works for millions of women out there or just gain alot of weight. I promise the cat calls will stop.

Mo - If a man did that the cops would take him away for assault. An I doubt the man  was afraid of you he was afraid of the law. Sad to hear you giving out such poor advice.

Answer 6

I am afraid that all women have to go through it, you will learn how to deal with it after a while.

Answer 7

im not that attractive but i do have massive ****.....so yes i also get this,take it as a compliment

Answer 8

you can complaint to the police against them. or you can stay away from them. use another way to reach your destination.

Answer 9

Mo- that man was afraid of getting arrested, not afraid of you.  asfor the wuestion, maybe you can take a male friend along when you walk.

Answer 10

Yes, sadly enough all women go through this, at least I did. I had to deal with this even though I wore very baggy clothes, it happened every day with DIFFERENT men. To all the ones saying to change clothing and that this is not true, again another reason why women on this site can't stand men. You all refuse to take your heads out of your a$^& and realize that YES this does happpen ALL THE TIME. I guess you all can't look past your own noses though. I guess you think us women are just mad because there was never a female president or something like that. No, I assure you our lives are harder than you think, if you don't believe me go get a s*x change and see for yourselves. In the mean time please stop commenting on things you have no effing idea about, it's irritating.

To the question best bet is to scream for help, pretend you're mortally afraid for your safety, and they'll stop. Or have the cops on speed dial to report sexual harassment. And try taking pictures or videos with your phone. I used to ignore them and walk away. A few times when they were really persistent I had to run towards police stations. It sucks, but it's true.

Answer 11

Most women have at some stage or other been subject to this behaviour. Its worse when youre walking alone or passing a group of loafers.I used to ignore it and not get worked up about it knowing it was more of an indirect compliment than a downright insult. However there are countries where the language gets obscene and though the locals take it in their stride it can be quite daunting to an outsider.The only issue i normally worry about is the safety issue

Answer 12

You can punish them by doing this everytime this happen to you:

Walk back 10 steps and then jump up, click your toes together 3 times and then get lost.

Answer 13

This happens to women in Europe a lot.  The offenders are almost always Turkish.

One afternoon while walking down a pedestrian street in Vienna I lost it.  I kicked the offender in the shin.  He wanted so much to kick me back but didn't have the nerve.  It felt great.  Empowering.   I understand that this type of sexual harassment is FINALLY being taken more seriously in Europe.  It was awful; I observed these guys doing the same thing to other women - and it was the WOMEN who were humiliated.  That's why I lost it that one afternoon; the perverse injustice of it.  The victim is humiliated, and these a-holes carry on with impunity.  Its all a big joke for them.  I have never seen the likes of it on this side of the Pond.

In answer to your question, do whatever you need to in order to draw attention to the offender and his behavior.  Scream, yell... bite and kick.  That's what they DON'T want: they want an easy victim.  So be an especially ornery one instead.

*Sexual harassment is NOT a compliment, geeze!  Their objective is to HUMILIATE YOU, how the h**l is this a "compliment"???

Answer 14

Walk around with a picture of a baby. When the men bother you ask: "Are you my baby's father?"

Then watch and laugh in a evil manner when they turn and run away.

Answer 15

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but you can't prevent it.  Everyone doesn't have the benefit of being raised with home training.  As for punishing them, I don't know why you think that's necessary.  You don't have to acknowledge their behavior.  Just tell them there's nothing you can do for them, and move on, or don't acknowledge them at all.  If however, they are physically touching you, feel free to respond with whatever physical punishment you feel is appropriate.

P.S.- If they are following you and don't want to leave you alone, feel free to let them follow you into the nearest police department or sub-station.

P.P.S.- Turning their inappropriate behavior around and using it on them usually makes them uncomfortable or confused enough to stop too.  They usually do this to impress their friends.  Embarrass them and they'll have one of two reactions: leave you alone, or start calling you nasty names.  Either way, they will be exposed for the pathetic children they are, so your mission is accomplished.

Answer 16

To the people saying wearing different clothes will help in this situation > it often doesn't. Just call attention to their idiocy, I've found that helps > when people start turning around they soon get embarrassed and scarper off.

Answer 17

Tell them to get their head out of their *** so they can see you are not interested!

Answer 18

They're behavior is punishment enough.

you shouldn't stoop to the level of imbeciles and morons.

Answer 19

As a man I'm sorry these rude jerks bother you.  For whatever reason, some guys believe catcalls

gets them some action.  They sit/stand around and whistle, yell loudly at women.

Maybe the only thing you can do is to ignore them.  You could videotape them, but if they find out they might get more aggressive.  Especially if you are reserved, you probably don't want an altercation (besides they might be mentally off balanced.)  Wish I could give you better advice.

Be safe...
