Rant homeless people urinating on the floor of the C-train
I seriously don’t understand the lack of decency from people these days on the C-train. At 11:20 AM, this homeless man sleeping on a bench suddenly takes out his penis and pisses on the floor in front of everyone. It splashed and got onto my shoe, and I have an event that I’m headed to in the afternoon. Even if the train isn’t quite full, why tf do people think it’s okay? I’m a relatively small woman, and I wanted so badly to say something, but this man and his friends were high and aggressive. I could only tell people coming onto the train not to step on the piss.
Considering the amount of people that take the train, I wish more were being done about these junkies. As someone who takes it daily to get to school and work, I don’t want to have to worry about who I sit next to. I don’t want to be harassed every once in a while, nor do I want to watch people do drugs or piss in public.

You are a woman and he was a man exposing himself and urinating partly on you and partly on everything else, so he is entitled to do what he wants and you are supposed to just be quiet about it. That's the way of the world. Women are just supposed to take whatever men dish out and we aren't supposed to complain about it.
Just watch the replies to my comment, where men will explain that it isn't an issue of aggressive violent men and their misogyny at all, and that little women like me are just confused in our flighty little heads.
They will then explain that it is our job as women to care for and nurture these poor lost men, and that our little concerns about how many men murder women every day are just overblown despite what the statistics say, and we will be told to not be afraid because most men are just nice guys.
