I’m moving immediately. I’ve lived all over the world and I’ve never encountered the type of men that are in Alabama. They’re vile, evil like vermin. They follow you around stores until you leave, sometimes even with groups of their friends. Can you imagine 6 guys following you around snickering, gawking, muttering rudest things they can think of just to see your reaction and mocking your attempts to make them leave.
I’ve had people follow me into parking lots , physically scrunching to peek into my car window, I’ve waited in long lines having to endure they’re commentary about me on how my face looks, how my boobs look , how fat I am, and I’ve even dealt with people taking my picture without my permission.
So I’m done. I’m moving. I am human and there is only so much I can take. I dealt with this for 3 years and I’m done, these men truly disgust me . They’ve been degrading my self worth and my sanity for a while now. I’m clinically depressed, agoraphobic, and have terrible anxiety issues and now I’m just… done. It’s tiring frustrating, and I don’t want to do it anymore so I’m moving to somewhere that I can live my life in peace.
