The politics of being a young lady

What about etiquette?

On my way to and from the bus every morning I inevitably get hit on. Fine. But does it really have to happen before 7 am. Guys, must you make a pass at 6:50 in the morning? I don't have the energy or the mental capacity to deal with it.

So where do politics come into this discussion? To be nice, they talk to you more. To be a bitch, they might go away or yell at you. How do you strike the correct balance? There's no real answer because it's a question of politics. You've got to play both sides. Ignore them, be passive. If they agress you agress. If they go away, you let them go. Pick your battles. It's just like politics. Some things are better left without a fight, and some things are worth fighting for.
