I am a public speaker, that I have no problem with. It doesn't help in an informal confrontation, which bears little resemblance to teaching or giving a speech, both of which I've done on many occasions and am quite comfortable with.

Public spaces are also the most secure places. (Don't forget MOST guys LOVE coming to the aid of a girl in distress!! It is the most common sex fantasy, after all!) Confronting him means he has no ability to retaliate, thus you steal from him the threat behind physical size. Making a scene, also draws attention to him, and if he is inclined to follow you and cause trouble, being remembered is the LAST thing he wants!!!!

Making a scene also draws attention to me, something I'd much prefer to avoid, something I was trying to avoid in the first place.
For those suggesting a physical response/self defense classes: Some of us are just no good at physical confrontation. If I know I'm not a physical threat, there's no way I can project the idea that I am.
