i was walking to cvs and got catcalled by someone from their car. in broad daylight. no one asks to be harassed, no one should have to monitor what they wear to feel protected, no wheaton student should have to feel unsafe just steps off of their campus, and i shouldn’t have to feel compelled to carry my keys in my hand as a potential weapon at one o’ clock in the afternoon.
confident yet objectified
personally, i don't really get catcalled a lot, so when it does happen, it boosts my confidence (depending on who it is) haha. one time i was in guatemala for our 8th grade trip, and a 30-year-old man started whistling at me, and that was just creepy because of our huge age difference.
