I hate being a girl and having to be aware of everything at every second of every day. I hate constantly fearing someone will kidnap me & rape me.

The other day, I was at the gym with my boyfriend. He was working on bench press while I was doing a machine. This older man comes over and used the machine right next to me (literally every other machine was open... I understand that may have been his workout routine but it still is weird). My boyfriend came to give me a kiss (he does that when he can tell I’m uncomfortable from a man) and as soon as he walked away the man started getting up and moving in my direction. I got the fuck away from there.

This morning, I was going to the gas station closest to my house for my morning coffee. As soon as I pulled into my parking spot a man inside using the atm completely stared at me. I was watching him because that was weird. He proceeded to stare at me 6 separate times within a 2 minute span. I didn’t feel safe so I had to go to the gas station on the other side of town. I still didn’t feel safe.

Why is it like this??? I fucking hate it
