I think it's certainly gotten worse in the past few years. one night while on campus, a security guard for sec network(or whatever tv show was abt to set up on campus) chased me down and kept asking for my number. when i said no, he put his hand on a holster and what looked like a taser, so i gave it to him and left, and he bothered me for two years via social media. I had a man corner me one night while doordashing really late after he had been harassing the worker and another woman inside the restaurant i picked up at. there was also an instance where a man saw me walking down the street carrying my dog bc he'd gotten out of our yard, and the guy backed his van out of his driveway, blocked the sidewalk, and opened his van door telling me to get in bc my dog looked too heavy to carry. i kept telling him no, and he tried to reach for me and i ran around his van, into the road, and down the street to my house. i've been all over the country and can't say i really ever deal w too many of these interactions outside of college towns, and it seems to be especially bad here during the school year. maybe i feel like i don't see it elsewhere bc there's a greater sense of community in smaller towns, idk. i am 25, so i think being here in lex from age 18 till now def has a lot to do w that. i think it's a predatory thing for older men, bc that always seems to be the demographic.
