    Seriously?
    Participant

    This is an open letter to guys. When you have multiple options of seats on the bus, DON’T SIT RIGHT ON TOP OF THE WOMEN ON THE BUS! It’s creepy, weird and reeks of despiration. Women do NOT find it charming. Women don’t automatically want to flirt with you! We don’t want to talk to you! Go away! Mind your business and leave us alone! It’s not your personal hook-up party bus! The same goes for all public spaces. If we say we’re not interested, GO AWAY! If we’re ignoring you, that means we’re not interested.

    While I’ve never experienced any problems with men while riding a bus I understand that what you say is possible. That SOME men may behave as you describe. What I don’t like is you speaking for all women. If you don’t like it say you don’t. You have no idea how ‘we’ feel.

    Fair enough. I shouldn’t speak for everyone.

    I’ve had multiple experiences on the bus similar to what Seriously? describes – and worse. On a crowded bus in West Seattle I even had some creep putting his paws on me. I protested – loudly – and he began to curse me out, including the “C” word. I asked the driver for help, and reluctantly, he made a mumbled general announcement “don’t bother other passengers”. The guy should have been put off the bus instead of being allowed to stay and potentially follow me home. Such behavior is far too easily dismissed, and too many women have paid the consequences.
