I wonder this on a daily basis. Everything is making me despair and really fucking angry. Today, we were walking in the west end of Edinburgh near Haymarket Station when we saw a group of around eight kids on bikes heading towards us, but they were on the road. They were going pretty fast, so I jokingly said, "Uh oh, here come the Hell's Angels..." Just as I was finishing my devastatingly witty sentence, I noticed that one of the kids had cycled onto the pavement and sped past a woman on the phone who was walking towards us. She let out a noise of shock and I thought that the kid had maybe accidentally gotten too close and clipped her with his handlebar or something. She had carried on walking as we had, so we heard her say to whoever she was on the phone to, "He just slapped my ass!" Hell's Angels sped off the we'd just come from and they were already pretty far away by the time I registered what had happened and turned around to see which way they'd headed. They were too fast to attempt to chase after, but I really wish I'd realised what had gone on before they cycled past as I would have happily flung my bag off my shoulder and into the wheels of the little cunt that touched her. A flight over his handlebars at high-speed might have knocked some sense into him and taught him that women don't exist for his amusement and he has no right to touch anyone just because he wants to. I was fucking furious. I still am but have calmed down a bit. Why is this allowed to happen? Why is nobody teaching people that this isn't okay? Government-sanctioned tasers for all women.
