“There should be fines for this kind of public harassment”

Just today two men made disgusting kissy noises at my younger sister and I. On countless other occasions random men have yelled at me about many different parts of my body, told me to go to the gym when i weighed more, told me i was too skinny when i weighed less, told me to smile, masturbated in front of me, etc

Women have the right to walk down the street without being objectified or otherwise verbally judged – favourably or not – on our appearance or anything else.

There should be fines for this kind of public harassment and women should know that we do not have to silently ignore all of the random verbal sexual abuse that we are accustomed to enduring everyday.
