  • So a few months ago, I was celebrating

  • a friend's birthday at one of her favorite dive bars

  • where you walk in through a fridge.

  • There's nothing cooler! Hahaha!

  • Get it? Haha! There's nothing cooler than walking into the fridge.

  • Going to get some drinks!

  • And I was standing in line, waiting to buy her a drink

  • just answering work emails, when this guy said:

  • Hi there! Traveling from Australia.

  • What are you doing here?

  • Oh hi! Cool. I'm here for a friend's birthday.

  • Nice, birthdays. I'm an engineer. What do you do?

  • Well it's L.A. so I'm an actress and comedian.

  • Comedian! That's funny. Tell me something funny.

  • Ah, well I don't ask you to engineer on your off-time.

  • So...

  • That's funny.

  • Freeze frame on this gross invasion of personal space.

  • Now at this point, you know, my natural inclination

  • was to tell him that I had a boyfriend.

  • Because guys at bars don't normally talk to you

  • or touch you unless they're trying to hit on you.

  • But then I was wondering, do I really need to be

  • someone else's property for you to respect me?

  • So what's your name?

  • Uh, Anna.

  • Oh, I love that name. Hanna.

  • Uh, no it's Anna.

  • Oh, I'm sorry. Anna.

  • Then he did it again.

  • Now at this point I knew that I wanted to tell him to stop

  • but I thought of all the different ways that I could approach it.

  • Right? I could be nice.

  • You seem like a fine, decent person, but that makes me

  • feel really uncomfortable so please stop touching me.

  • I could be mean.

  • Get the fuck off me you strange man!

  • Stranger Danger! Stranger--

  • I could speak for women everywhere.

  • I know you and other men are going to hide behind

  • the excuse of "Oh what? We can't talk to people anymore?"

  • "Conversation starters are evil now? What a bitch!"

  • But you know what? If your only intent is to get into my pants

  • then fuck you. Because if I were a dude, you wouldn't look at me twice

  • and you wouldn't demand that I pay attention to you

  • and you wouldn't put your clammy hands all over me

  • without my permission. I am a human being.

  • Not a piece of meat for you to conquer

  • while you're traveling abroad you selfish Australian bastard.

  • Or I could just speak for myself.

  • Dislike. Block.

  • Instead, I did nothing because my drink ready

  • and I grabbed it and I escaped the situation.

  • But not before he touched me one more time.

  • And look, I know not all guys are like this, okay?

  • I've had plenty of conversations with dudes at parties

  • or at bars where they're just looking to have a good time

  • and not be creepy and weird.

  • And I know that this kind of creepy stuff happens to guys too.

  • Like once in a meeting, my boyfriend was very clearly

  • and uncomfortably hit on by a producer.

  • You know, I've been a big producer in Hollywood for a very long time now

  • and I notice a star as soon as I seen one.

  • I don't know why you're hanging around with her haha!

  • You can do everything yourself. You don't need her.

  • I've known many a stars in my life

  • and they all did whatever they needed to do

  • in order to get to where they are--I'm talking

  • A-list, B-list, C-list, all the lists, you name it, they're on it.

  • It just takes one little act of charity.

  • But this kind of entitlement,

  • where someon feels like they're owed your body

  • or your attention or your time, happens all too often.

  • And I don't know what the best way to react is.

  • You know? Like how do you turn someone down?

  • What's the best way to clarify that you're not interested?

  • Because sometimes a person says:

  • Hey, you want to get coffee sometime?

  • And you want to be 100% clear and say:

  • Yeah sure! I'd love to catch up as friends.

  • But their response will be:

  • Fuck you! Why would you think I want to be more

  • than friends with you? You're fat, and ugly and dumb

  • and you hurt my ego because you rejected me

  • and that is an idea that's foreign to me!

  • This is a very weird and complex issue which I don't feel

  • like I can accurately distill down to a few minutes.

  • Especially because it's something that I'm still going through myself.

  • But if you have any experience with this or any advice,

  • please let me know.

  • Because the next time someone feels entitled to my body

  • I just might react like this:

  • I'm Anna Akana. Stay awesome Gotham.

  • I want to thank Squarespace for sponsoring today's video.
