Groped

I was on the 68 bus and an old man kept on turning round and smirking at me and then continued to get his phone out to take a video of me. I felt so uncomfortable, I left the bus before my stop thankfully I wasn’t followed.

Sexual Harassment

18, 2008
When sharing a news story at work about eco clothing being biodegradable. A male manager later messaged me privately to say “Biodegradable underwear? Not sure what I would do if you came to work with no underwear on”.
I was a teenager and he was a man in an authority position.
