Ordinary whistles or stuff doesn’t bother me. What scares and insults me are the youths and even small boys who roam around my area in Berlin, at twelve years old already bigger and heavier than me, from Muslim families (I’ll complain about the Germans later, don’t worry!) who follow me around, make remarks, pretend to run into me, then swerve and just touch me, call me names they think are derogatory, walk extra slow to block my way, wriggle their tongues, while the police are standing by – WHILE the police I call are telling them OFF!! Once they tried to get my attention, I told them to leave me alone and they peed in the bushes right above me. Then the penis rubbing guys – not nice.
Then, the cross-cultural pissing all over the place. Men just whip out their thing and pee right in front of you at the street corner. You see their member, you smell their urine. If you say anything – it begins to feel dangerous. Others find it normal to tell you how they just threatened some girls, who were being a nuisance they would rape them if they didn’t stop. Makes me sick.
Now the German guys that bug me – mostly a bit older, in their twenties to forties. A group of guys following me in their boat, while I walk by the river, very openly and disgustingly making advances and insulting me. Some older guys sitting al fresco in my street (busy inner city tourist hot spot) making super stupid remarks, standing up, touching me, trying to make a fool out of me, laughing, jeering just because I was so stupid to humour them in the beginning. Then the people insinuating things like “I’ll put k.o. pills in your drink” – It’s just – I hate it!
BUT! More often GIRLS AND WOMEN make me feel bad. They are less dangerous, of course, but their daily meannes really gets to me. I’m a dancer, And naturally I have toned legs. I have a small waist. I have breasts. I am a dreamer. Apparently that makes their boyfriends give me fleeting, unconscious looks of approval. So the girls and women give me the evil eye – all the time. Every day. It REALLY hurts, sisters.
