		<description>&lt;b&gt;â€œCanâ€™t you just yell back at them? Thereâ€™s nothing stopping you from yelling back at them! You can do it too!â€ &lt;/b&gt;

Said like someone who has never been yelled at by aggressive and creepy people, particularly in groups. 

I remember once when I was still an undergrad, and I was out jogging one afternoon, and I had the misfortune of running past one of the frat houses while four guys were hanging out drinking and being idiots. As I jogged down the street, one of them started yelling shit at me. I ignored the first two comments, but when he yelled out something about my being &quot;a fag&quot;, I shot back &quot;What, are you looking for a date? Not my type.&quot; When his three friends stood up and jumped off the porch into the yard and started yelling &quot;Hey, come back and say that to his face&quot; that I realized &quot;Shit, I&#039;ve been running for a mile and a half, and I&#039;m tired, and there are four of them, and they&#039;re drunk, angry, and &lt;i&gt;haven&#039;t&lt;/i&gt; been running for a mile and a half.&quot; 

And I realize that I get to count myself unlucky amongst men in that it happened to me &lt;i&gt;once&lt;/i&gt;.</description>
