I’m only sixteen years old and have been honked, and whistled at, I’ve had sexist, sexually explicit comments, and kissing noises made, as well as yelled at me by men in their late 30s and above, MORE THAN 10 TIMES IN MY LIFETIME. This doesn’t make me feel confident or a lady, this makes me feel disgusted, disrespected, and lowers my confidence. I can’t wear jeans and a crew neck shirt without some guy saying something vulgar to me or constantly eying me as though I’m some trashy object.
