had some great advice, she said 'even if they don't speak English, just shout GET AWAY FROM ME YOU C***SUCKER!!' also, i know this is stupid, but when reading this article part of me did feel, like...unworthy? or something? just because i've never had an experience like that. i'm kicking myself for it because i know that street harassment is a horrible, horrible thing that shouldn't happen to anyone, but i can't help but read this and go, "wow, this is so incredibly common...i must be REALLY ugly huh?" :/ while i disagree with you, i think i can understand where you're coming from. i felt the same way once -- but as others have stated, the fact that people think being harassed on the street is a "compliment" rather than harassment is why it is so widely accepted. you shouldn't need some strange man to catcall you to feel like you are worth something or pretty. Never, ever feel like this is something to compliment how pretty a woman is. I kind of cringed when I came across a comment here that was obviously a younger reader exaggerating her story -- it felt like I was in middle school again, and my friends were trying to one-up each other's stories. I love you guys. Please, -please- don't feel like you have to do that here. But then again, I understand how you feel. I'm from a suburban town in Texas and this sort of thing isn't as much of
