i was at a gas station vacuuming my car the other day, headphones in doing my thing. when i got out, an older man was literally leaning on my car smiling. i took out my headphones and asked him kindly (and scared) "whats up?" he asked "so who you cleaning your car for?" 1/6
i already knew where it was going so i said "uhh, myself and my girlfriend." he laughed and said "oh your girlfriend, huh? like GIRLFRIEND girlfriend?" i kindly said "yes my girlfriend. im a lesbian." he replied "well would your girlfriend care if you had a boyfriend too?" 2/6
as a woman, you know some of the shit men say (especially strangers) is truly baffling, you dont even know how to respond. so i smiled and said "nah man, im a lesbian, im not interested. have a good day tho!" he laughed again. like, BELLY laugh. this was funny to him. 3/6
and as a woman, you also know saying "no im not interested" isnt enough to be left alone sometimes. he goes "well can you clean my car next?" i started getting really uncomfortable/stern. he smirked and said "okay well just know your ass looks realllly nice in those pants." 4/6
i felt really sick and gross after that. he walked away after the last comment but he was tall and bulky and no one else was at the gas station. i got in my car immediately, locked the doors and left, checking if he was following me the whole way home. 5/6
men - please, PLEASE, if us women do not know you, do NOT follow us and do NOT make sexual comments about our bodies. ever. if we dont seem interested, we're not. that should go without fucking saying. have respect for WOMEN, our BODIES, our PRIVACY and our SPACE. over n out.
