Wore a dress today, my white summer dress with OG Star Wars decals on it. I felt good and nice.
Then I walked past a pub where a group of young bald men had spilled out onto the bike path. They saw me, I saw them, and as soon as I walked past them one guy turned around to face me and made a rather sexual noise right in my ear and face. I called him a "fucking ballsack looking cunt" and to "get out of my face".
It's happened a couple of times, where I've chosen to dress particularly feminine and had something like this happen. It's not everytime, but enough. Like, it's summer and I just want to stay cool, that's my main objective, my only goal when it comes to my summer wardrobe. Really, I think that's all any person is trying to do when they put on a summer dress on a hot humid day. None of us are inviting anyone to make sexual noises at us in public.
I'm just... tired. We're all fucking tired of the behaviour of immature men.
Regardless, I looked fucking cute as shit and I maintained a comfortable temperature lol
Edit: to be clear, it is 100% okay to see a stranger and think "hot damn!", I take issue when it turns into verbal harrassment and onwards.
Hope their heads get sunburnt.
Also a Star Wars dress!!! ๐ป
They probably don't even moisturise or wash their bums ๐ญ๐
Or brush their teeth
Yes! Head sunburn is horrendous. I've only had it in a hair part and that little stripe was bad enough.
