Sophia Bush had a plane ride from hell. She turned it into a lesson about harassment.

''Women — on planes, on trains, in automobiles, or on the street — don’t owe anyone anything. But due to an unfortunate sense of entitlement that’s rampant in our society (see the recent viral story "How to Talk to a Woman Wearing Headphones," which rightly caused outrage all over the internet), this sentiment must be repeated every so often. On Friday, actress Sophia Bush dispatched her own iteration of this message.

Bush, who rose to fame on the TV show One Tree Hill and currently stars on NBC’s Chicago Fire, was apparently responding to an unpleasant encounter she had with a man on a plane. She wrote on Twitter:

Dear Random Dude on a plane,

When you make a woman so visibly uncomfortable, that after you’ve ignored all visual cues to please leave her alone (one word answers, she pulls out a book, puts on a hat, she actually asks you to not speak to her with the tone and words you’re choosing to use) that she finally GET UP and MOVES SEATS, leave her alone. Do not continue trying to make conversation. Stop turning around and looking at her...''
