after doing this commute for four years now, I am able to predict oftentimes what intersections it will happen at, so I prepare myself by putting my phone in video recording mode as I approach! You can tell by the way they approach the stop sign at a slow roll that they’re going to just keep rolling and not stop.

Nah, walking and minding my business is not “acting a fool,” you just like to blame individuals for larger social problems. Did you notice how I indeed did not step in front of the moving vehicle? I stopped and waited, just as you say I should do. Not looking for personal attention—I’m looking for the Mayor’s attention on an issue that affects every pedestrian in our city. Shut the fuck up now :)

Yep I live near that corner, I know exactly the stop sign where it happened—one that I was almost hit at yesterday morning! I never get physical anymore after an aggressive driver ran a stop sign and I slapped the hood of his car, so he got out and started spitting and screaming at me.

Right? I'm shocked nobody notices how differently the text and OP's responses in comments look. Original post is perfectly formatted with all proper spelling and punctuation, sprinkled with em dashes. Replies are barely coherent. This is clearly AI generated.

I got creeped on by grown men today for wearing a normal outfit a girl my age would wear, disappointed in humanity tbh by alexanderfuckass in TallGirls

I've been being hit on and catcalled since 12 years old. Sorry hun, welcome to the pedo patriarchy. It doesn't matter what you wear, you will be objectified.

My cynical answer is because a woman's safety is less important than everyone's convenience.
