Submissions

A lot of the stories featured here seem to be coming from me lately, but that's not the way I intended for this site to work. I want this to be an open forum for victims of street and public space harassment to tell their stories, give their insights, and let people know that they're not alone in dealing with this ridiculousness.

Please continue to submit your stories to the site. While I have a rule against anonymous posting (too many people abuse that privilege under anonymity and tend to leave hateful and uninsightful comments), submissions can remain anonymous. Do not worry about length or language (feel free to curse---this is a place to let your emotions out)---I keep that intact. The only things I edit are grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

Also, you can name the neighborhood the harassment happened in or the intersection it happened at, but DO NOT give specific work or home addresses! One submission contained the intersection the contributor lived at, and we have to take precaution to insure our safety.

Though I want to keep this focused on DC and its metro areas, I will accept stories from other areas as well. And if you hear about anything newsworthy in terms of street harassment and countering it, please let me know.

Once again thank you for your support!
