I was leaving one of the WIC (Women, Infant, and Children – I’m 30 weeks pregnant, which makes this even worse) clinic and walking to the parking lot. I had to pass this big black suv which was just idling in the alley way. The passenger side window rolls down and the guy inside leans out and says, “Hey, how’s it going?”
Now while this might sound innocent enough when you read it, I have been harassed enough times to tell the different between a sleezy inquiry and a genuine inquiry and this one just made me feel uncomfortable. I just kept walking and I said, “I’m married and you’re not worth my time.”
Who does this to a pregnant woman? I felt really exposed and I just wanted to get in my car and lock the doors.
