men need a revolution...
is it the nice weather that makes men crazy? is it the appearance of a shoulder? or a bit of back? seriously, i cannot go outside without being harassed with the most ANNOYING comments (and insulting...what, am i supposed to take these sentiments as compliments!???). guys do this to girls to impress their guy friends. they never yell out "hey baby", "nice boots", "nice shoes" when they are by themselves (what is it with their obsession with commenting on my footwear!?? maybe it's because i have small boobies!!! which i am grateful for!). anyhoo, i felt the need to confront one of these harassers the other day. he called me a stripper!!!! a stripper!!!! i was walking by the restaurant next door, it was mid afternoon and the patio had a construction worker manly crowd out there...then the one guy felt the need to comment on, yes, my shoes, my tattoo and called me a stripper!!! i was only walking by to go to my car to grab the wrapping paper i forgot in my trunk (for my cousins baby's gift) and i had to turn around and walk by the jerk AGAIN! i walked up to the patio and asked him if he thought it was OK to make comments like that to complete strangers....in front of a whole patio of people. he said "have a nice day, keep walking"...but i continued...i told him the only girls he could get were the ones he paid for! to which he actually said "yeah, cuz i can't get girls like you". what a LOSER! i was fuming. i was shaking and really angry. now, don' get me wrong, i have been confronted w/ this scenario over and over. especially when i was touring with TUULI...we got it every night...and there were actually some VERY VERY bad encounters over the years, from verbal to physical abuse (but i'm saving those stories for the book i'm gonna write!). anyway, this sunburned typical goon really got my goat and even though it was 2 days ago, and i tried to refrain from writing about it...i just had to. maybe because as i walked to starbucks to get my coffee about a half an hour ago....some guy on a balcony across dundas yelled out "hey baby i like your boots!". HONESTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! unless you're a judge on project runway, keep your friggin' comments to yourself.
