Alexa--
First sentence wierd. I'm not really into Manicheanism, except when it suits me (listening, Father Terrence?)
Alexa, Alexa: even at the advanced age of 48 I get followed every once in awhile. Men occasionally strike up inappropriate conversations in inappropriate circumstances. This is perfectly normal. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's sad, but basically it's got nothing to do with me.
Relax, for God's sake! They're not all lechers. Well, okay, maybe they are, and maybe we are too, but if we're civilized we can control ourselves.
I once had the most hilarious experience at the supermarket. (For those who don't know, it happens fairly regularly, they're sinkholes of immorality, you'd be surprised, but this was pretty much the ne plus ultra). This guy had followed me off the bus, dogged me down the street, and so to escape I popped into the super. Needed food anyway. Got my cart, started shopping, he continued to follow. Everthing I picked up, he'd examine and comment on. Peeled tomatoes in the can, for instance: "Che belli!! Ahhhhggghhh!! Bellissimi! Urgghhhhh!! Mubhmmmmmm!!" A scream. Made my day.
