After 10 years of shrugging off daily predatory, abusive, and graphic messages from strangers online, one woman is fighting back – by posting every single message on Instagram.
Last month, 35-year-old LA-based violinist Mia Matsumiya started the Perv Magnet Instagram account, where she says she plans to post the 1,000+ messages she has received over the last decade from ‘stalkers, pervs & crazies’.
‘Being 4’9″, Asian-American, and a musical performer has sort of been a nightmare combination when it comes to harassment – it seems to attract an insane amount of unacceptable, predatory behavior,’ Mia told HuffPost.
