On Being the Change....

I stopped a guy from harassing a woman on the train tonight. I wasn't the only one who felt something was off about the man's behavior towards this woman, but the others later told me that they didn't know how to approach the situation. I simply asked the woman if she was okay. Even when the man became belligerent (at which point the whole train had my back, don't worry mom) I calmly ignored him and continued to make sure the woman was okay and felt safe. This is probably the adrenaline talking, but being a decent human being felt really effing good tonight.
