People wonder why women are angry. I'll tell you why.
This morning I went to the forest to look for fallen wood from the weekend storm which I could work. Found three lovely fallen boughs and set back home. On the way down, a male runner, in his 50s maybe, starts following me

Constantly making nasty comments about firewood and times being hard and I ignored him. We all know those kinds creeps, he said ' times must be hard, what would you do for this, and flung coins in my path. I stopped dead and told him he was being offensive, sexist and a freak
I stood my ground while he rattled off shit, and I took my phone out and said shall we phone the police? He started shouting that I'd torn the forest up. I started visibly dialing ( it wasnt the police, they're useless and would do nothing to a man) and he started running
I stood until he was well down the road and I ducked and dived down backstreets and ended up on the main road, where there was more people. I felt unsettled and if I'm honest, scared. I'm a woman in her 50s and can handle myself. I think what scared me is what this man woukd do
To any woman in the dark, if he's so brazen in harassment at 10am. He looked respectable, he's someone's office colleague, father, brother, but this is how he treats a woman walking down a road when there's no witnesses.
