P and Me Don't Mix

I'm Naomi, not from NYC. It's too bad.. I've got lots of stories of being harassed and really want to share it. I live in Indonesia, waaayyy far from NYC. But the street harassment here is just as bad. Depends where you walk/ pass. Still, it could happen anywhere anytime. I really wish I was as brave as other girls in the Hollaback blog when I was harassed. I was 9 years old, in the street full of small shops where suddenly a tall guy (about 20 yrs old) grabbed my bums. Nine years old!! And I was with my mom! Too afraid and embarrassed, I shut my mouth. Damn I couldn't do anything since it was too crowded, but I knew who did it. Stupid ass tall guy with the hair looking as it's never been washed & combed with mongrels in it! And when I was 12 years old, I walked to a bus stop, a guy walked from across me and suddenly grabbed my right breast and walked away. I was with my girlfriends, really really embarassed, humiliated! Damn! I'm still soooo angry when I remember all of this stuff! When I was 17, waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up in the school's gate, this old guy (around 50 yrs old or more) came and stood up beside me about 1.5 meters apart. I didn't care anything about it, he didn't do anything that would upset me. Until he suddenly did something, which I didn't realize for about 2 minutes. I got the feeling that he's up to something no good at all. That's when I took a gaze at him, what I found out? He was .. you know.. playing with his "P" /*in **the public*/, standing up, and starin' at me. I TOTALLY FREAKED OUT and ran away ASAP and hid where I found my seniors there. Once when I walked down the street with my sister at about 11 AM, Sunday, two guys riding motorcycle with black leather jackets grabbed my sister's bum. She suddenly shouted and run after them,"Asshole! You *GO TO HELL*!!" Still, the guys were laughing at both of us. But they speed up their moto and ran away. Cowards. I was surprised. My very calm sister was actually braver than I was. People in my city mostly mobilize themselves by motorcycles, and a lot of guys show their "P" in the public and wave the "P" while they\'re still driving the motorcycle (slowly)- to the female streetwalkers, mostly to teenage girls, while laughing and smiling jerkily. Or they would come across with cars to the houses where a lot of girls are hanging out or cleaning the yard, and ask,"Miss.." and when the girls looked at them, they will open the car\'s door, show their "P"s- and then ran away. I really really really HATE any kinds of street harassment!! Don't you? I think those who do that, are the brainless, witless, heartless creature who don't respect their moms - coming out of nowhere and harassing females. Don't they think that their moms are females? What's in their mind? What if their beloved girls/women experience harassment?! Thx. One day I'll visit NYC. written by Naomi.
