As a woman, I do not feel comfortable even walking near a light rail station. If I do, I am invariably approached by men uttering lewd comments. True examples: "He lady, how about a quickie? Just you and me, come on, just five minutes..." or, "Damn, you have the sexy walk..." or, after I rebuffed a man's attemp to put his hands on my lower abdomen after he wanted me do the splits as a stretch after a run: "Touching isn't bad if it's meant for good!" Ugh. And of course there are the myriad hoots, hollers, barks (astonishingly loud), and whistles along with the occasional marriage proposal. Now everytime I hear "Excuse me miss?" I just keep on walking. No eye contact. No smiles. If I totally ignore you, now you know why. Women, protect yourselves!
