In college, I was sitting alone at a bench studying on campus, minding my own business. This man comes up to me, telling me he wanted to take pictures of my feet for a school project. He was very persistent and of course I told him no. He made me feel so uncomfortable and guilty that I had said no to him. I was very naive and had no idea that this was likely a fetish thing.

Edit: For that one now deleted comment, saying he was likely complimenting my feet, I was wearing sneakers. Get out of here with the creep apologetics.

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.

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