Part 2/11:
The speaker recounts a harrowing experience on a late-night train in New York, where she was harassed by a man who eventually confronted her with aggression. Despite being surrounded by other men, none intervened. She describes her terror and the realization that "no one was ever coming to save me except for myself." This moment, she claims, cemented her decision to arm herself with pepper spray and take personal safety into her own hands. It underscores her belief that societal structure has failed women and that relying on "good men" for safety is increasingly futile.
