I'm so sorry that it's happened to you again. Maybe your example can make me braver, though. I don't face anything like that, but I've been staying inside because of anxiety just about crowded narrow streets. I'm not used to living in the center of a crowded city, and I hate it. I wonder if I should push for moving, like you mentioned moving from one place that you lived? (It seems like this would be so much easier if we didn't live in the very center of the city, in a high-rise!) Or maybe I should just think of you and be brave?

Thanks so much for your writing. I teach here in the US and a boy told a girl in my class to "get in the kitchen" among other rude things, and because I corrected him his parents are furious, and being unreasonable (it's too ridiculous to explain). Thanks for the reminder that this stuff matters and we have to speak up when we can.
