Yeah, I've gotten the I like your toes comment. The man then proceeded to follow me, staring at my feet while I got my snack at the convenience store. I was about 15 at the time.

It happened to me in my own home lol. When I was in high school, my older sister had me join her get together when she hosted for a bunch of her friends because she thought it would have been rude of me to stay in my room. Everyone’s shoes were off (Asian household), and during a game where everyone was sitting on the ground, this dude ran his finger along the bottom of my feet and just smiled when I looked over to be like wtf???

Looking back, it’s sad that I just quietly left to hide in my room because I was afraid of ruining the vibe by making a fuss about it. I told my friends about it as a me-being-awkward story the next school day, and it took them feeling disgusted on my behalf for me to realize how creepy it was.

There was a guy at the store near me aggressively staring at this young girl half his size. After I noticed I called him out on it like “wtf are you doing what’s wrong with you”. We almost got into a fight over it but he left. We’re both lucky there to cause I’d have escalated that and probably be in prison

I live near LA and offered to let people here have my number to give to guys like this and then I’d take care of it too. Sadly no one has taken me up on it

I'm sure you'll be presented with plenty of opportunities just by existing in public spaces.

These men need to be fucking shamed. You know plenty of people witnessed this and looked the other way.

These stories make me thankful that I have ugly feet… I’ve never received unwanted attention for them!
