You walk into your car at night. What is the first thing you do? My answer is, lock my doors. It has become almost automatic at this point. You see I work super late at night and my walk from the door of my place of work to my car always makes me surprisingly nervous. I look around my atmosphere before I walk from the door to my car. Seeing if anyone is suspicious or unwelcoming. As a woman, these protective habits we all get into are just a way of life at this point. And it's not just about locking your car doors or watching out for creepy people at night, it's so much more.
1. Cat-Calling
This is one that makes a lot of girls uneasy, and it should. I see this happen everywhere. At my place of work, on my college campus, in the mall, in the city, out at bars, virtually anywhere. Men make it known fact that he sees a woman he finds attractive and needs to make a scene. Rather than simply approaching the woman, giving her a simple compliment and seeing how she responds. Cat-calling makes women feel as if they are objects. Just simply put here on this earth to be looked at physically and not intellectually. The amount of times I have heard people make comments to me about my appearance, and this is not a nice compliment it is a compliment that is sexual and not exactly something I want to hear when I am running around at work sweating my ass off.
2. Hands to Yourself
3. Not Taking No for an Answer
"Can I have your number?" "No" "Are you sure you can't give me your Snapchat though?" "I'm sure, no" "C'mon just let me get your snap" …. Nagging a female is not going to make her really want to give you any sort of attention. But, chances are you will get your way just so she can be left alone at the end of it. I know many girls who agree to have sex with someone just so he stops nagging her. Do you not think that men would not want to continue to ask after someone already said no? The fact that girls feel so pressured that they just give in and let them get their way.
