I notice you don't say anything about calling the police even on the guy who followed you. Why is that?

And I'd say be even blunter. Ask them what part they don't get, demand to know what part of their obsessive behavior they think is going to somehow change your mind, and basically force them to consider the ramifications of their actions.

wow. what is with this victim blaming shit.

you do realize that either of the actions you just suggested could put anon in more danger, right?

[(Anonymous)]

None of that is victim blaming. If someone's house was broken into, nobody would call it victim blaming to remind them to call the police. Yet for some reason that one simple step is seen as wildly inappropriate when it comes to sexual things and that's disgusting.

Keyword "could" to your second thing. Really anything "could" put anyone in more danger. Saying that we need to confront jackasses really should be an obvious step.

But you wouldn't necessarily call the cops WHILE someone was breaking into your house, if you were also there. Especially if that person had weapons or was acting violent. (If they didn't realize you were there and you were in another room, that'd be a lot safer. I live in a studio so if someone broke into my apartment they could hear me from anywhere in the place.) They are likely to do something to try to shut you up until they can get away. Certainly if I woke up or came home and realized my house had been (past tense) broken into I'd call the cops right away.

Likewise, if a guy were following me on the streets I would only try to call the cops IF I could do it from a place where I know he couldn't hear me. I'd be genuinely terrified of how he'd react if he realized what I was doing.

Then AFTER he is gone and/or I get to safety I would call them.

Saying that we need to confront jackasses really should be an obvious step.

So if an adult man was following me, all of 5'3" and ~150-160 lbs of not-muscle, on the streets I should confront him, yeah? That'd solve the problem and make him go away, right? Are you fucking serious.

AYRT--if I could force these guys to do anything, I wouldn't have been in danger. As for "why not call the cops?" response time generally sucks and I don't even live in a shifty area. I've called cops before, on family, at work to protect customers, on prowlers, and it takes >10-30 minutes for them to show up. Plus cops are an "in case of emergency, break glass" thing. It's how I was raised. If any of the creeps ever pulled out a knife or gun, I would've called. I have before; that's how I know response time sucks.

[diet_poison]

I can corroborate this. I once witnessed what looked like a mugging and potential kidnapping and it took 10 minutes for the cop to show up; the people involved were long gone.

So tackle that problem too. And there's usually going to be a non-emergency number you can call once you're in a safer situation.
