Catcalling: Flipping the Script

"It's about the fact that I can't walk down the streets without getting hit on. I am so sick and tired of hearing obscenities whenever I walk down the street.

What's terrible is that women are so used to this. We're told to take this as a compliment. That it means we're pretty. A compliment is not "Hey sexy, why don't you go out with me some time?" And believe me, that's the most PG version I've heard. A compliment is "Hey, I think you're cute." That's it. There's nothing creepy about that.

If you need to be taught what a compliment is, I can refer you to curriculum commonly found in 1st and 2nd grade classrooms.

Do you think it's easy to walk anywhere knowing you're about to get judged for how you look? Think before you shout.

It's about the fact that I, as a woman, am afraid to go out in the city at night. You can't argue with that. You can't say that women aren't at least treated differently." Huffington Post I'm Done Being Quiet About Sexism
