[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am pretty surprised about the nonchalance to riding the metro and metro buses in middle school. Yes you as a middle age woman can likely do that just fine but I remember being repeatedly sexually harassed (groped multiple times in addition to comments and a man trying to get my ID) riding on the metro when I was younger- a teenager and young adult. Aside from one workplace incident at a summer job I have not experienced that kind of sexual harassment anywhere else. I am aware my daughter will very likely have to deal with this as well but if I can keep it from happening at 11 I will. [/quote]

Sorry that happened to you. The only times I ever had issues as a teenager in NYC was when I was on a subway platform or car alone, which was a big no no and something I still actively avoid as an adult woman. Otherwise, if I was on a train at a normal hour, I didn’t really have issues. Frankly I’m planning on telling her to look for women in office attire and try to sit near them. Avoid teenagers, especially groups of them. [/quote]
