I’m not meaning threatening as in they’re going to snatch your purse, but a social kind of threatning.

A group of men at a party or on the otherside of a club would not bother me. However, it makes me very angry when men from other ethnic groups try to flirt with me. If one of them started to approach me, I would dismiss him quickly. Politely the first time, if he persisted in bothering me, well, I can make grown men burst out crying in under five seconds and there’s always pepper spray.
