July Catcalling Recap

Yeah it has only been 11 days since the start of July and I have already been catcalled 3 times. It has never happened so frequently before, usually like once a year at most, but I guess I just started going outside more. I still consider myself very lucky based on how little of these experiences I have had. 

Anyway starting with the first story of this month: Just some dude whistling at me while I was going to the grocery store before closing to buy bread. Nothing special I guess. I tried walking away quickly but my slippers were too big, so I was around him for longer than I had wished

Next story takes place while me and my girl-friends were going home after the peter pan musical. I remember this especially well because I was wearing my favorite pink dress, and also because the guy shouted "Can one of you help my friend? he needs a warm cock sleeve to fall asleep!". 

The last story is from today. About 2 hours ago me and my boyfriend were searching for bugs. we found the cutest hairy moths next to a bunch of lavender. I brought him to the bus stop which was 200 metres away from my home. On my way back, at exactly 22:21 two men walked past and started clapping their hands while moaning "aughh give it to me, baby". They laughed once they stopped holding eye contact with me. I was already so fed up with today because my hair was super greasy from my sweat. 

"well what were you wearing" - Does not matter. It could be pajamas with ugly ass slippers, my favorite dress, or a greasy ponytail with jorts during 30°C heat. No matter what you look like, the minute a man sees you, he will not be able to resist the urge to comment on you. The reasons for it are so stupid: They want to make you feel small, to create a hierarchy and feel better about themselves, even if it is only for a mere minute. They really cannot stand not being the centre of attention for even one minute. Like a baby shitting it's pants the second the parent sits down. Maybe the perverts get off on humiliating little girls, but that is probably just another form of a power fantasy. The silliest reason is honestly just trying to be funny in front of your friend. How much of an incel do you have to be, to harass random girls, just to seem as though you have game. Get a girlfriend in an honest way, loser.

Also why does this always happen the minute it turns dark? Like all of these situations were at 22.00, which is basically the moment the sunset ends. It's not even because you're alone, the last two stories happened at bus stations with witnesses. What about the dark gives these losers the confidence? do they think they are some cool delinquents or that the moon gives them an invincibility cloak? It's so silly. 

I'll never understand this. Do they want a reaction? Do they think I will let them hit afterwards? Do they want to seem manly? What about this is remotely manly?

It's so stupid and so goddamn unnecessary. How do they have the energy to keep annoying and harassing every poor fucking passerby. Can't they channel this energy into gardening or paving the roads? I swear Rome would have been built in the day if the workers hadn't kept harassing random women. Decent men are 100x more attractive than whatever these incels think they are perceived as. No matter how ugly a person is, their behaviour is something that truly makes them disgusting.

Of course I know harassment is not just a desperate way for a lonely man to get a girlfriend or to have sex. It's being an awful person for the fun of it. 

sorry if this post comes across as unreadable or tone deaf, my body is tired and I'm just tired of y'all

Anyway here's my bf trying to catch a moth
