Guess what! I'm pretty. In fact, I'm pretty hot. I'm like that kind of hot where every male sees me and wants me. But they don't want me, they want to fuck me, and some of them want to be able to say that I am theirs. Because THAT would be a really nice trophy, right? Kind of like having a shiny sports car.
Unfortunately, this means that I get gawked at, whistled at, called at, and harassed, just about everywhere I go, all the time. It is a very rare occasion for me to go out and not have anyone make me feel uncomfortable. On top of that, there are females that give me nasty looks, as if I am a bad person for looking the way I do. That it is my fault that I get whistled at and checked out and have inappropriate things said to me.
It's not my fault, I'm not asking for it. Yes, I wear clothes that fit me correctly, and I wear makeup and sometimes I do my hair nice. Does that mean I deserve the harassment? NO. I should be able to go out dressed in whatever the hell I feel like dressing in, having my prettiest makeup on and my hair perfect, and I should NOT be harassed by ANYONE, male or female.
Looking back, I'm ashamed to say this. For a time, I started going out wearing baggy sweatshirts and sweatpants, I wouldn't wear makeup, and I would even keep my hood up. Why? So I could go places without being bothered, without all the unwanted attention, without feeling uncomfortable in my own skin, because of the people around me. I purposefully would try to look in a way that made me feel ugly. No one should ever have to do that, ever. But I did that. And the only reason I stopped is because on top of feeling crappy because I felt like I looked crappy, it didn't make a difference. I was still harassed.
So what am I supposed to do? Grow thicker skin? Just ignore it? If I ignore it, it'll go away? I don't think so. Men need to treat every woman they encounter with respect - and that goes the same for how women treat men, as well. Maybe it's hard to keep from thinking about how hot I am or how much you'd like to get "a piece of that", but it's really NOT hard to keep your mouth shut and control your actions. I am sick of it, and I am not putting up with it anymore. From now on, every time a man (or woman) makes me feel uncomfortable simply because I'm pretty, I'm going to call it out, I'm going to make it stop. And I recommend that every other person that experiences these things or similar things, does the same. We can say, "we just shouldn't let it happen". But we all know it's going to happen, it's gonna keep happening. But there's something we can do.
Don't let anyone get away with it anymore.
