As a man I'd have never believed how common such behavior is. I'd have thought that's really outlandish.

Now I've gone through the (probably stereotypical) process of a guy having a daughter, she's an adult now.

What she told me - no, all this stuff isn't unusual at all. The first time she was afraid (and called me as she already had a phone of her own) she was not even 10 years old, riding her bike from my place to the ex-wife's place, teenage boys catcalling her.

There's a lot of us men around who find it hard to believe, because it doesn't happen to US. But it does. Frequently.

I know it never happened around me personally, I'm tall and mean looking, but working in service for over a decade and most people don't know how bad it is. You learn that the restraining order needs to happen BEFORE it gets worse not as it gets worse. And none of that protects workers traveling to work. You can't let anyone walk alone to their car alone after close, and if a guy comes in and asks for an associate with those creep vibes, and they aren't known to the associate or a part of their private life in anyway, you need to aggressively fight it. On visit two looking for her, you have to pull her behind closed doors and report to the police he's stalking and get a restraining order. SECOND VISIT. Anything less and you're letting to go way to far.
