I've been mocked and called paranoid for not running in the dark and changing my route often. Well, sorry that me trying to rape being assaulted offends you. Plus this doesn't come out of nowhere. I've been relentlessly harrassed while running, not once or twice, but repeatedly for years.

But odd enough some men really take offense and even tell me to just buy a treadmill if I'm so scared I can't even run outside when its dark.

Why should I have to spend money on a treadmill and avoid going out just because these men can't avoid sexually harassing me when I run?

"Not everybody wantstto rape you", "some men are just being friendly", "they're complimenting you, you should be thankful instead of making them feel bad"
