AMERIČKA turistkinja suprotstavila se napasniku u Dublinu te postala hit na Twitteru.
Leanna Carr iz Colorada na Twitteru je napisala kako je prošli tjedan hodala jednom ulicom u Dublinu, kad ju je netko s leđa uhvatio za pozadinu.
Dodala je kako se muškarac histerično smijao te joj rekao, s obzirom na to da je Amerikanka, da joj se to vjerojatno svidjelo.
26-godišnjoj powerlifterici to je bilo previše pa je muškarac dobio šakom u facu, a fotografije ozlijeđene ruke objavila je na Twitteru.
Kasnije je rekla za The Independent da ju je na reakciju natjerala kombinacija šoka i ljutnje. "Nikad nisam nasilna, i nikad dosad nisam nikoga udarila... no bila sam toliko ljuta i prepuna adrenalina da sam reagirala tako što sam ga udarila. Pogodila sam ga u obraz, tvrdo", rekla je.
Kad mu je viknula da više ne dira tako djevojke, naljutio se i mislila je da će uzvratiti. No nekoliko prolaznika interveniralo je i reklo mu da se udalji.
Iako je potresena iskustvom, Leanna se nada da će pozitivan odjek viralnih fotografija njezinih šaka pomoći o podizanju svijesti o seksualnom uznemiravanju, ali možda i potaknuti druge žene da se probaju obraniti.
Why is it so hard to say nice things about ourselves? 🔹This week I had the opportunity to be a guest presenter for a local middle school’s health/wellness unit. I presented to 8 classes & over 200 adolescent aged girls about the importance of self-esteem, body image, & positive self-talk. We did an activity that involved EACH girl to step outside of her comfort zone & say something positive about herself, whether it was about her body, personality, goals, something she was proud of, etc. As suspected, many girls struggled with this activity. A few of them couldn’t think of ONE positive thing to say. I facilitated a discussion afterwards & asked them why it was so difficult. Their answers consisted of: -I don’t want to seem conceited/better than others -It’s easier to pick out the negatives -I don’t say nice things about myself very often. -I’m not confident -I don’t like the way I look -I’m a teenage girl with a weird body -I compare myself to other people -I’m worried that people won’t agree with what I think -I am different from what society considers beautiful 🔹This was disheartening to hear, but it gave me the opportunity to explain why self-love was so important. It doesn’t mean thinking that you’re better than anyone else, nor does it involve purposefully hurting or putting others down. It’s not something that is situational & it shouldn’t undulate with success or the seasons. Having self love while setting goals of self-betterment aren’t two concepts that are mutually exclusive. Our heads are filled with thoughts that we let in from the outside, they manifest & manipulate our perceived abilities and our worth. Positive self-talk has been PROVEN to enhance performance, confidence, and success across a multitude of avenues. And if more people said nice things about themselves, then it would become the norm and it wouldn’t be so hard to do. But it has to start somewhere. “I am the most important person in the world... to me. I am proud of this person. I accept this person. I will do whatever it takes to make this person’s dreams come true ”. This is crucial to teach our next generation. Every child deserves to know his/her worth.
