Dear man, who honks at me as he drives by.

Dear man, who rolls down his window to call out how "fine my ass looks in those shorts".

Dear man, who tells me to put more clothes on.

Dear man, who shouts out "the things I would do to that body."

STOP

Where do you get off making comments about my body?

When did I ever ask for you opinion?

Why do you feel the need to harass me?

Who told you it was okay to objectify me?

How do you justify that?

SHUT UP

It is none of your business what I wear.

It is not my problem if you can't handle the sight of my bare stomach.

It is not your place to tell me how to dress.

It is not okay to say obscene things because you think I'm "hot"

LEAVE ME ALONE

I don't want to hear the things "you would do to that body"

I don't want to want to be scared to walk home alone.

I don't want to feel unsafe in my place of work.

I don't want to have to wear a parka just so you won't sexualize me

GO AWAY

I am someone's daughter

Someone's sister

Someone's neice

Someone's girlfriend.

But NONE of that matters.

You SHOULD NOT respect me based on the relationships I have that you can identify with.

You SHOULD respect me because I am a person.

And I DESERVE to be treated as such.

Sorry I've been getting catcalled a lot lately and it's been pissing me out so that was my way to vent.I figured I'd post it here cause I'm sure a bunch of you relate
