The first time it happened, Anna Lehane was 15. She was walking to the movie theater in her Pennsylvania town when a man rolled down his car window and yelled, “Nice a--!” The random appraisal of her body made her feel small. “Like I’d been knocked down a peg,” she says, “and couldn’t do anything about it.”

Lehane, now 18, felt the same way after she heard the Republican presidential candidate bragging about groping women without their permission. The first man had sped away before she could muster a response. This time, the teenager said, she had two days to prepare a comeback. She found a white T-shirt and bought some black iron-on letters. She showed up at the Donald Trump rally Monday wearing a message: Grab my p---y. I dare you.

The teenager, who initially backed Sanders and now supports Clinton, wasn't sure what to expect as she moved through the crowd. She spotted a man sporting a shirt that said, "She's a c---t. Vote for Trump!" She noticed people staring at her, but not necessarily in a mean way. One guy, wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, complimented her outfit. Another called her a "commie."

Lehane had heard about scuffles erupting at Trump rallies nationwide. One had ended with a man getting punched in the face. She wasn't nervous, though. Not with a trio of reinforcements. They also wore homemade shirts. Theirs said "Black lives matter."
