I am definitely not recommending that school (Georgetown U) to anyone, ever, not after all the racist, sexist, homophobic crap I went through there. And I completely flubbed a textbook example of condescending male harassment by not responding unfavorably to "Give me a smile." I was just caught so totally off-guard that I...smiled! Dammit dammit dammit! After all the damn anti-street harassment training that I do! I was so pissed.

I think they must train them to be as creepy as possible. One of them asked me if I was a student and when I said "yes" his tone suddenly changed as he asked me, "Have you found your <i>PURPOSE IN LIFE</i> yet? How would you like to <i>CHANGE THE WORLD</i>? If I were casting for the part of creepy con artist in a play and he came in talking like that I'd tell him he was overacting! I’ve been approached by several of those guys.

I always think up great comebacks when I anticipate similar things happening to me, but whenever something like that really happens, I become flustered, silent and try to get away from the perpetrator as fast as possible.
