reminded me of a time, when this older theater actor, grabbed my hand and snatched the gifts my uncle had given me as I was packing them into a suitcase, on my train journey from Mumbai to Bangalore. He then went on and shoved me aside in the train, and told me that he was taking the trinkets, and told me to deal with it. I also saw this man 24 years later, and it stirred up some serious memories. When I had gone to others on the train, they advised, "stay away from men!, have a low profile, sit only with women."
Women are taught, to be the ones to stop by being demure, having a low profile, and just not being seen. In this case, another common advice has been, dont wear a ponytail, as people may pull at it.
The message is never - stop being a bully, it is always, you be demure, elsem you will attract a bully.
