New gym set from bo+tee came today decided to walk into the gym in town in the set since the weathers fab to be only met with the worse harrasment/catcalling I’ve ever experienced in this country on my whole way in continuously it’s only getting worse and it shouldn’t be
something that woman everywhere have to be ‘used to’ it’s sick how men think they are entitled to pass remarks about a woman or what they are wearing today I had 1. A man stop on the path infront of me while I was taking my hoodie off cos the heat & say ‘Oh your stripping yeah’??
2. Group of like plumber Youngfellas rolling down there window beeping and shouting out ?
3. Some man walking Infront of me up the quays saying I was looking gorgeous I was on ft to one the girls and was like eh ok & just grinned at him he got aggravated by me not saying thanks
And turns around walking back towards me shouting ‘Ye fucking rude little bitch’ I start tryna cross the road & some kind man & his daughter pulled in cause they could see what was going on to make sure I was okay and was going up to the guy
4. Still walking up the quays..
Look to my right there is a man literally RECORDING ME out his van window smiling with pride like ? What’s he doing with that?This that isn’t okay I’m so freaked out
5. As if all this wasn’t enough walking through temple bar and some creep with a walking stick STOPS infront of me
And shouts IN MY FACE ‘Put some bloody clothes on’ while I’m on ft again to one of my friends literally telling them about the situations ALREADY TODAY
This is the worst I’ve ever gotton it and I wear much worse going out 😂 I was in a gym leggings set today 21 degrees out
Moral of this tweet is that this is what us girls have to deal with on the daily imagine walking to the gym and experiencing all of that over your outfit? And simply for being a female next time you feel entitle the slightest to catcall or Harras a girl in any form DONT
Luckily I’m confident as fuck and wouldn’t let them comments or aggravated men at me get to my head but that could have sent someone else in a hole today and they probably wouldn’t have continued going to the gym or walking so disheartening most of these men have kids themself
