Have others experienced an increase in public sexual harassment?

Don’t want to write an essay but I’m a Milwaukee lover who’s constantly trying to coax my Citys are Scary family members to come on down. Great arts and theater scene, good restaurants, you know it. 👊

I think I’m done, though. The 2 times I brought my mum and sister down this year someone yelled extremely sexual remarks at them. Like super pornographic. My mum is 68 and my sister is 34 and they both dress like little old ladies (don’t worry it’s an inside joke). So if you’re picturing two half-naked ladies strutting down the street with their T&A out, you’d be very wrong. Plus we were all bundled up in winter coats. The grown men who hollered at them were well dressed and groomed and didn’t appear to be mentally ill or homeless.

I was talking to a friend about this and she said she’s gotten more street harassment lately. It was really vulgar, like I don’t even want to repeat it levels of vulgar. Not just a “hey sexy lady,” it was more extreme than anything I’ve ever heard before in the wild. I’m disappointed in my home.
