Being harassed by guys in cars.
It's happened to me a few times lately and I hate it. I hate being reduced to a sexual object which is then approved or rejected. I'm just walking down the street, or waiting for a tram, not asking to be hassled. It also scares me which is really embarassing to admit.
I posted something about this in one of my livejournal communities and i really like this response I got:
".... What do they expect us to do? Throw off our heels and start chasing them down and say, "I had no idea how you felt" in a weepy sentimental way seriously. They cat call ya or beep their horn and they're gone in less than a split second......
Why bother with anyone who took less than 1 second to look at you and then whizzed by? I mean seriously, you're probably a bright, beautiful and fabulous person with your own life going about your business. and this guy's wonderful extracurricular activities involves catcalling from his car.... uh huh. I wouldn't be too bothered at all."
That makes me feel better.
