Catcalling: A Shitty Urban/Sub-Urban Art (A Rant) (Mentions of Knives) (So much swearing. Mb Guys)
-
Catcall: Noun/Verb
A loud whistle or a comment of a sexual nature made by a man to a passing womanNow, while it isnβt always made by a man to a woman, it usually is. I can attest to this.
I walk nearly every night across the dyke (flood wall) in my town.
It is a common hangout spot for teens and adults alike.
I never used to get catcalled, because I would walk during the summer nights.
However, just before school started up (and now during), there have been more people out.
I used to not have to carry much on my walks. I would carry my phone and a flashlight.
I always dress the same: long pants (sweatpants/pajama pants) and a hoodie over my shirt.
Now that more and more people are out, I have to carry a pocket knife.
I carry my fatherβs pocket knife. On walks. Because I have had at least 15 different high school boys or men try to talk to me or catcall me.
If I have my earbuds on, I have to leave one out, so that I can hear if someone tries to follow me or talk to me.I know that if I ever get these boyβs names and brought it up to school administration, they wouldnβt do anything. After all, they were only saying things like: βStay safe out there, sweetheart!β or βYou look nice tonight!β I never asked them to say anything, and they make me uncomfortable.
I clearly remember walking by this group this one time, and they said βhi,β but that was it. Next thin I know, I see a long shadow being cast from the lights behind me. I turn around, and it was one of the boys. He had left his group, and began to slowly follow me. I immediately started walking backwards, facing and watching him, and I had my camera open, and I was ready to grab my knife if the need arose.
If you do this: FUCKING STOP. THIS SHIT ISNβT CUTE. I DONβT GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOUR INTENTIONS ARE, YOU MAKE ME FEEL UNSAFE.

AND NOT ONLY DO YOU MAKE ME FEEL UNSAFE, YOU RUIN THE REST OF MY NIGHT. IF IβM HAVING A GOOD TIME, (EVEN IF IβM DRESSED LIKE A FUCKING BUM) AND YOU TELL ME I LOOK GOOD, I FEEL DIRTY AND DISGUSTING, AND I WANT TO TAKE A SCALDING HOT SHOWER. S T O P.
-
@PopTart_Yeeter itβs not even stalker rizz itβs just people being fucking creepy c^nts.

@Your-Local-Reaper True

@PopTart_Yeeter the fact they have the fucking audacity to call upon a minor, minding her fucking business and telling her she looks fucking hot makes me want to rip my motherfucking skin off.

@Your-Local-Reaper but ur right to carry a pocket knife
-
@PopTart_Yeeter dawg tf-
-
@PopTart_Yeeter honestly, I regret not carrying it sooner, just in case, yk?
-
@Your-Local-Reaper Thatβs honestly disgusting. Itβs also frustrating that some guys think this kind of bullshit is acceptable. Like, what the hell makes them think that making someone feel unsafe or uncomfortable is just a βharmlessβ joke? Itβs not always playful, itβs creepy as fuck. They need to get their heads out of their asses and realize that their βcomplimentsβ are actually harassment. Enough is enough. Itβs also good that you had something on you just in case of something happening. Iβm sorry you had/have to go through that. And also, I might not be on most of the time, but If you need someone to vent and/or talk to, Iβm here. β€βπ©Ή
