Woman gets called a pervert for reading explicit book

A woman was on a train reading a very explicit book on her phone when a man sitting beside her started reading over her shoulder. When the woman got to a steamy scene, the man made a disgusted noise and accused her of sexual harassment. The woman stood up for herself and told the man that no one asked him to look at her phone screen. She even threatened to read it out loud to him. However, she later felt guilty about her response and wondered if she was in the wrong. Do you think she was the a**hole in this situation? Read on for some comments and reactions from people on Reddit .
