'Woman of the Hour' is prompting women on TikTok to share advice on encountering threatening men
Briefly

"Things I have done to keep myself safe," posted TikToker Rachel Lovely, citing the film as her inspiration for making the video. "I also want to preface this by saying if someone really really wants to set out to hurt me and that's their primary goal, they absolutely will. These are just some things that I have utilized to try to either delay that from happening or get out of the situation in general."
In the first scenario she describes, she talks about getting into an elevator late at night and being followed by a man. "Making eye contact always makes me feel better in those situations," she explains. "I never let the person stand fully behind me." She suggests encouraging the man to exit first if the doors open on her floor, stating, "I'm not having this guy follow behind me."
If the person following her into the elevator doesn't press any button, she will turn to him and ask what floor he needs while blocking the buttons with her body. If he sees the button of her floor lit up and says he is going to the same floor, she will say she is actually going to the floor of the button directly above. When the floor comes, she will hold the elevator door open.
