Why is it that a lady can’t take a walk without being bothered by men on the streets? Is it so hard for them to understand that we don’t want to be bothered?

The worst of it all is when they get hold of your number and make it a point of duty to keep texting and calling even when you make it clear that you are not interested. People have their own ways of handling men like this, but there are others who have to deal with them in a more unique way.

The Redditor in today’s story didn’t have it any different, but then she devised a means to tackle the issue. She shared her short story on the AITA subreddit community to know whether she went too far with her actions.

She’s an 18-year-old whom three of her classmates have been bullying and harassing. These guys even went ahead and messaged her with gross and harassing texts.

Ordinarily, one would expect that the OP would block or even report them, but she didn’t. She chose to handle things her own way by screenshotting the texts and sending them to each of the parents of these boys.

Was her effort worth it? Find out as you keep scrolling further.

No one has the right to harass or send you unsolicited pictures online, but we still find some men doing this. So it’s no surprise when women find new ways to tackle the situation because it can get so annoying.

Did you like the move made by this Redditor? Have you dealt with guys like this before?
