Uncomfortable is not assaulted. Some people are pre-disposed to being “uncomfortable” around strangers, period.

Sometimes I am sure it is absolutely justified, but more often than not, it is just paranoia.

The stories I’ve heard have mostly come from smart, tough-minded, independent women. Remarks that were clearly over the line… “you’re so pretty, don’t you have a boyfriend? Do you want one?”, stuff like that.

So, yes, of course, waving a knife at the guy once he walks in isn’t the answer, but maybe having a friend there with you… or someone on the phone with you… and/or a folding knife in your pocket… not a bad idea, ladies.
