This poll is for (and written by) ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
emma_in_oz, who doesn't have a paid account. It is, as it says, a poll about your experiences with sexual harassment by people you don't know.
It'd be cool if you could fill it in regardless of gender or whether or not you knowemma_in_oz. The original context for the poll is this post Emma did asking about people's experiences.
This poll is about being sexually harassed on the streets by people unknown to you, not about other sorts of sexual assault involving people you know etc.
You don't have to answer any question that makes you uncomfortable. If you feel uncomfortable with your name being displayed next to your text entry answers, skip those questions and either post an anonymous comment or fill in your text answers in the anonymous version of the poll.
[Poll #1119475]
Anonymous text answers version (an inefficient cludge added later since you can't edit polls):
The only person who can see the answers to this version of the poll is me. I'll post the de-identified answers below every now and then. I don't get notified about results so if a long time has passed and I haven't done it post an anonymous comment reminding me :) Please still still fill in the check-box etc parts of the poll above!
[Poll #1119795]
What do you think motivated them? Why would they behave like this?
I'm really not sure. Weird fetishised power trip?
Insecurity, not thinking, cultural background possibly...
How did you respond?
Got embarrassed and left the situation as quickly as possible.
Differently in different situations, when followed home I ran, when flashed I used what I thought was (probably withering/demeaning) humour.
Is there anything (possibly about yourself) to which you attribute being harassed/not being harassed?
Not remotely intimidating looking? But not really.
I was dressed for work (suit and blouse) on both occasions. Avoided major harassment due to confidence and caution?
Any inaccuracies etc should be blamed on me, since I did fiddle with the original draft quite a bit (ie adding an "other" option to everything, that seems to be a good idea in all polls :)) EDIT: crap! Forgot an "Other" option for "male/female, have/haven't been harassed". Apologies to anyone that applies to :(
I suck at answering my email and Emma may not have subscription to this post's comments turned on, so you're probably better off directing any deep discussion back to her original post. This really is her post after all, I'm just hosting it :)
