Ever since I began to enter puberty, men in NYC have been saying disgusting things to me on the street. Some examples: nice thighs, nice camel toe, damn girl, oh god, I’d hit that. It makes me feel unsafe, it makes me want to indulge my anorexic behaviors, it makes me want to disappear.
Optional: What’s one way you think we can make public places safer for everyone?
For every woman to ask a man that catcalls her: “how would you feel if someone said that to your daughter?”
