Twice in the last 24 hours I’ve been harassed on the street by men who felt that it was fine to catcall me, ask for my name, comment on my appearance and even try to grab at my tattoos without my permission. It makes my blood boil; I tell people about it and half the time I get told that I’m overreacting or being sensitive. I’ve had people tell me I’m cold, that claiming to be a feminist makes me unattractive (the logic behind that is dizzying at best), even that I’m a man-hater. Guys tell me to toughen up. Girls tell me to ignore it. Great.

Y’know, I’m all for equal rights. The next time a woman pulls up next to me in her car and asks me my name and where I’m going, then tells me to smile for her only to loudly call me a bitch and threaten me before driving away when I don’t, I’ll be happy to place the blame on her. The next time a middle-aged woman sits next to me on the bus and flashes her vagina at me because she gets off on making me uncomfortable, I’ll be sure to take notes.

Fair is fair.
