I don’t mind people exercising their right to stand on the corner waving flags. I find that the most annoying thing I can do is ignore them. But Thursday, a guy crossed the line.
I was sitting in my car in the Sahuarita Safeway parking lot minding my own business, not even close to the store. It was a beautiful afternoon so I had my windows open. A car pulled up to mine. The driver asked me if I still supported Biden. I told him I was not going to engage in such a conversation. But he persisted, having noticed my very small bumper sticker and mentioning it. I told him again that I knew where he was going and that I wasn’t going to engage with him. After several rounds of this, he left, not getting what he stopped for.
There’s no doubt in my mind that I was singled out by this man because of both my bumper sticker and that I was a woman. I don’t really care what anyone’s politics are. But when someone is out intentionally looking for a fight, or thinks it might be fun to harass a woman, think again. I’ve got your number and every other man who thinks this is acceptable. You picked the wrong woman, fella.
