Sexual Harrassment on Public Transport

I always struggle to emphasize with those who don't report things. I mean, I understand, but I personally just tell if something bad happened.
Makes you think.

I haven't been harrassed much, but if it's happened it's usually a drunken middle-aged Finn or an English-speaking guy. I don't count someone just talking to me -- that's not harassment unless I tell them to leave me alone and they won't. In London I've felt safer in the Tube than I do in Helsinki, though. There are so many intoxicated people out and about over here, and they can be really obnoxious. On New Year's Eve there was a lot of harassment at the central train station, apparently it was unusual, and I'm reeally not too happy about this blatant lack of respect towards women.

Sometimes I've been cat-called at the station but it doesn't bother me. I draw the line to unwanted touching. Luckily there are usually guards on trains or if there are none, you should report the harasser to the conductor and the guards will pick him up at the next stop.

People don't report because a) it's very hard for the police to do anything about it, so reporting rarely helps; and b) there is often stigmatization of the victim in crimes like these. It shouldn't make anyone lose empathy for the victim, and it shouldn't make anyone have to think on why someone wouldn't report it.

I said empathy, not sympathy. I feel for them, but I don't have the experience and I don't agree with the thinking. So I can't empathize very much.
The makes you think bit wasn't saying "oh, I don't understand!" I do know the reasoning. I just mean it makes you think about decision-making and how difficult it is to know what is the ultimate right decision. If there even is any. And about the sexual harassment itself, and what the feelings that press that lack of action are like personally to experience. And so on.
