[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if anyone has seen this Reddit thread, but it is absolutely appalling.  It appears to be written by a woman who recently moved from another city to NOMA and is having a hard time comprehending the amount of street harassment she receives in DC.  Hundreds of other women chimed in saying the same thing.  Why is DC like this? https://old.reddit.com/r/washingtondc/comments/s6kufa/just_moved_to_dc_and_have_already_been_harassed_4/[/quote]
People that post in the DC Reddit are a little too special for my tastes. That post is too vague to adequately understand what happened to her and it’s probably intentionally vague. Her chief complaint is that a male, presumably homeless, was sexually harassing her in front of a police officer and the cop did nothing. First, since she doesn’t share what was said it’s hard to understand what she views as harassment. Second, since the police officer didn’t intervene then most likely a crime is was not committed. But third, did she ask the man to leave her alone or request assistance from the police officer on scene?[/quote]

It's not just the OP . . . there are hundreds of other posts from women reporting the same thing all over this city. [/quote]
All similarly vague accounts of Reddit users who post on r/DC and seem to have a penchant for over reaction. Reddit is a lot different than DCUM, the “communities” are very insular, which is abetted by the up vote/down vote feature. [/quote]
