If you continue going to these places, you run a risk of being harassed. Other than that there’s not much one can do.
If you go to see a play in a local theater, an exhibition in a gallery, attend day time festival, a movie (not suggestive kind), library for a book club, walk or a picnic in a park, go to a concert (not a drinking party type of concert), volunteer somewhere during day time etc etc you won’t get harassed. This is summer. There are free outdoor concerts everywhere. There’s always police around and I’ve never seen anyone bring harrased
My girlfriends and I don’t get harassed but it’s not because we do something special or we are so great. We just don’t do things you described. If you want to continue the life style, you’d be running the same risk.
It might feel like you are singled out but I am sure there are other women who run into these behaviors if that’s their life style. It’s just what it is.
