Men masturbing on Sydney trains

One of the last few photos I received in which I haven’t posted up yet from my couple photoshoot. It was taken by a talented Sydney Soompi photographer Leah.

Some updates

1. Who else is finding it frustrating to look fashionable on the streets?

I honestly love dressing up a little when I’m out or even when I’m just going out to school, but I find it frustrating to find everyone else on the street wearing a t-shirt and thongs – and yes, I’m from Australia.

I mean, there are days, I like to wear slip the casual skinny jeans and a cute t-shirt, but what happens when I feel like wearing 4 inch heels or short shorts? People look at me as if I belong to Kings Cross. And because the majority of my readers aren’t from Australia, Kings Cross is the sluttiest suburb you’ll find in Sydney. When we refer to “belonging to Kings Cross”, it most likely means “you’re a prostitute”.


2. I’m really sick and tired of men sexually harrassing women.

I’ve been meaning to make a post about this but I just don’t know where to start. I hate and absoluletly hate sleazy men. By sleazy, I mean low, disgusting, gross, disrespectful. This is the second incident that I’ve come across – sitting on the same carriage as a middle aged man masturbating somewhat across from me. What is wrong with you men? Do you not realise you are in public? Go to the fxcking brothel if you are that desperate.

On Friday, 4th September at 12 noon, I was at Central (which is Sydney CBD), I looked across to peek at which station the train was stopping at.. and all I see is a black face looking back at me touching himself. I look back, and continue to play Scramble on my favourite companion – my Apple Iphone. Shortly later, I walk down the stairs and change carriages.

I got off the train at my destination, which two stops later and peeked back into the train window to see if he was still there. He was missing. I peeked across several more seats and he was still nowhere to be seen. I started to quickly make my way up to exit the station gates, when I see him again walking towards the station gates behind me. I inserted my ticket, exited the gates and fled into the closest boutique and called Mr.CG. He tried to comfort me and I stayed in the shop for five whole minutes until I felt completely safe to walk back out.

As I walk out, I see his fxcking face again, this time walking in the opposite direction and peeking into the shop. He spotted me. I continued power-walking towards the next closest boutique, and this time staying in there for a longer time period.

I lost him after.

Fxck you. I was so fxcking scared, but I know I shouldn’t be because if you came any closer to me, I would of screamed and reported you to the train master and the police.

If I had not been so scared, I would have taken your photo immediately and reported you to the police. I would have wanted to post your fxcking face here to show the world what a ridiculous sleazy, low, disgusting man you are.
I hate myself for fearing you at that time. I should of known better. I should of taken your photo, I should of screamed for attention, I should of warned everyone around me of your disgusting behaviour.

I don’t think any of us girls deserve to have to put up with you disgusting, sleazy and desperate men.

Beware girls of catching the train on the East Hills line to City during noon. I have come across this incident twice in five years, and I don’t even catch the train often!

And ofcourse, not to my surprise, with just a quick search in google, I found many articles on this.

I hate how it is illegal for anyone, other than police officers and possibly security guards to carry pepper spray in our bags. How else are the women to protect themselves?

And because I love google, I asked it that question, and apparently, women should go and get themselves some self defense lessons. I’m firing up.

    Thank God nothing happened to you. There are pervs everywhere. It is getting harder for females to step out of their hse alone. =/ Take care! xoxo

    Oh my gosh… I'm so glad that nothing terrible happened to you. Even though such case has never happened to me, I know exactly what you talk about. Thank you for posting this, as I have always been concerned with such issue and wondered if anyone else out there shared the same problem. Sometimes I feel like dressing up too.. but feel insecure because of all those disgusting men out there. Those stupid men should really grow up, seriously.

    OMG dear that's terrible. But I know how you feel, I once was stalked and it was night.. I freaked out, but I managed to get home safe.

    If there it's illegal to get pepper spray.. you know what you should do? Get deodorant in spray. And use it as pepper spray. Believe me, the dude will have to seek medical help if he doesn't want to get blind.
    Since here it's somewhat illegal too (the pepper spray) the police told once to some girls to get that. No one can arrest you for carrying a deodorant with you, can they? ;)

    Get one that has alcho in it!

    And it makes me angry too, this way is almost legal to harass women! I hate it, and it makes me sick!

  5. my god.. what a low life. It's so disturbing and scary..

    I think every girl has experience some form of this at one point
    And yes that is so unfair that the pepper spray thing.
    My own defense.. kick them in the middle and RUN ><

    thats really sketchy !!! the subways here don't seem that bad. sometimes you find people pretty much having sex… but i try to sit farthest away from the guy who looks like hes going to whip it out and start touching himself xD

    you should keep something with you to protect yourself like pepper spray or a pocket knife

  8. anon says:

    it's even worse that society expects us women to take responsibility on ourselves to prevent being harmed by men. Women should HAVE to carry weaponry and take self-defense classes, or avoid dressing provacatively, walking home alone or in the dark – just because the men of our society are so f*cked up. It's not fair that we have to bear that weight, simply for being born a woman.

  9. Jessica says:

    Wow what a faggot. Im from sydney too and its so true about your #1 post, haha kings cross.

  10. AnnaC says:

    gosh thats scary >< i hate it too
    i also had an incident once with a sick man like that -.- __
    i hate that it happens to alot atleast once in their lifetime.

  11. Bee says:

    Wow- I’m so sorry to hear about your bad experience!

    I haven’t yet found myself in a situation like that, but I’ll definitely be prepared and adamant about when it does happen. So far the most I might get are cat-calls but even that is extremely uncomfortable and I can feel myself tense up out of nervousness!

    Men everywhere seem to be like this and it doesn’t seem to be changing for us at all :/

    I live on that line too, and although I've never copped some horrible man wanking on my carriage, my best friend has. Empty carriage, sat right next to her on a 3 seater and started having at it. After she noticed (hiding behind a book hoping he would leave her alone) she had to escape by climbing over the seats to get out!

    i know what u mean! everyone here wears ts and flip flops too!! >< and then i look funny with short shorts and heels?!?

    Ive been regularly sexually harrassed on my school route scince the age of 11 in London, and eventually developed an eating disorder trying to reverse puberty (I recovered). I began to mistrust adult males, instead of looking up them as I was taught. These are just pathetic losers trying to fing someone vulnerable to intimidate. I found it very threatening, but scince have learned to pity and openly mock these freaks. A man on my bus regularly tried to rub himself against women and children on the route, some as young as 7, so I photographed him, reported him to the police and testified against him. Dont show fear, show derision and disgust. They need to know they aren't impressing anybody.

      I think you're very brave and I'm glad to have girls like you around to testify against these horrible men. I'm sorry that you've had such a bad experience previously but I'm very glad you are now able to stand up for yourself and walk away from fear. You are very courageous. Thanks for your lovely comment.

    this use to happen to me alot! unitl i stoped using pt. i remmeber taking the train early to work one day and i fell asleep and woke up to find a man in the oposite seat laying down and trying to look up my skirt. i would also get alot of wolf whistles when i use to walk to work from the train station and have had in the past when i was walking around when it was dark guys slow down in their cars and offer me a ride or whistle etc. and even came across a guy who flashed me his penis when he walked past! gross! had guys in cars who’ve followed me and i remember being so scared i had to quickly walk to the nearly 7 eleven and stayed in there until he was gone. there sure are alot of perverts out there so be careful, especially out at night and alone if your a girl :T
