Shrodinger’s Rapist…or how to approach women without being maced.

An older post I found, detailing some of the reasons why it’s unsettling to be approached in public by a stranger.

“…we would rather not be killed or otherwise violently assaulted…do you think about it all the time? Is preventing violent assault or murder part of your daily routine, rather than merely something you do when you venture into war zones? Because, for women, it is.”

This quote can be applied to women and to LGBTQ folks, so listen up.

Columbia is a college town situated equidistantly between Kansas City and St.Louis. With nearly 50% of our population of 108,500 being under the age of 40, Columbia is a town young at heart. There are three institutions of higher education within the city limits alone. Street harassment happens in all parts of Columbia, but we get the highest volume of reports from the downtown area and from all three campuses. Help us make ours a community safe for all who live here, by submitting your stories of, and being an active participant against, street harassment in Columbia and around the world.
