This woman's tweet about women being 'standoffish' in public went viral for all the right reasons

creepy.

"Thank you so much for the outpouring of support and sympathy," she said after receiving the comments. "This was really, really scary. If you're a guy feeling lost or upset, please know that I'm NOT accusing all or even most men of being scary. I just want you to learn that when women are unfriendly it isn't personal."

Evans's story is a frightening example of how a seemingly innocent encounter can lead to something more sinister, and it's a reminder to be street safe but also to not feel like you owe strangers anything. So don't be polite if you don't want to.
