Returning from lunch today, a well-dressed and fit silver fox walking a few feet in front of me was cat-calling, whistling at, gawking at, and generally making every woman on New Montgomery feel very uncomfortable.
The construction workers outside the Academy of Art campus on New Montgomery even suggested he keep his comments to himself.
Naturally, I felt like I needed to do something, so I got all up in his bubble and proceeded to make some rather bold remarks about his physique, what I’d do with it, etc., and all-in-all returned his misogyny in kind. I got high-fives from the construction workers who said, “You’re a stand-up guy!”
I like making new friends. As for the original cat-caller, he took off, almost running. My new friends and I had a nice laugh at his expense.
