Stranger said "sexy" to me on Spadina Avenue

I'm so sorry that happened to you and I understand how you may feel angered and objectified. Definitely ignore it, as others have mentioned. Some people see any attention as good attention, so don't give them any. Once they see that this sort of behavior just gets ignored, they may stop behaving in such ways.

Please stay safe and carry some pepper spray with you too, in case things escalate. I was in an incident a while ago where a stranger came up to me, pushed me and said he was going to rape me. I quickly walked away and gave him no attention + reported it to the police. I didn't expect such events tbh, mostly in Canada where the stereotype is that everyone's friendly, and since I've never encountered anything like this... but I guess COVID really has made things worse and more dangerous in a way where entitled @ssh0l3s may try and take it out on others
