Walking from my neighbourhood to the gym, twice along the way I was verbally harassed by men. One yelled, “You’re ugly. UGLY,” as he rode his bike past me. A further 10 minutes on, a drunk/high man said, “You’ve got a hot body. Your head’s farked.”
Funny, as it is on one of the first days I decided to be proud of myself as a woman, not afraid, not keeping my presence small to protect myself.
