"Special grievances of various classes." This tells me all I need to know. (Well, that, and the copious use of the word "female.")

I HATE feeling pressured not to talk over and sexualize other people too! Common respect is such a bummer, man.
I totally agree. But I am a historian, so I am biased. Not the least of which because I would always rather procrastinate on Jez than grade papers, and it feels more justified when it's posts like these.
b. Where is my shit? I have a five-year-old in the car.
By the end of a day of harassment I'm exhausted, sad, moody and depressed. Not the state of mind I want to be in when I come home to my wonderful husband.
I really wish you would stop giving me the urge to defend bristol palin. Seriously, stop.
All Bristol Palin comments come from police audio and her blog posts. All Chelsea quotes from social media, newspaper and magazine interviews.
YOU ARE GETTING IT.
dont bother. a whole video of this and that's all he took away from it? waste of time bb, though your point is fucking EXCELLENT.
Where do you hear this, exactly? In your own shitty head? I have literally never in my fucking life heard a woman complain that she wasn't street harassed. And catcalling isn't conversation, it's harassment. That's not how relationships start, it's how men let women know they're being watched.
Being a guy, I can never really understand how this feels for a woman, but what surprised me was the cumulative feeling of disgust I felt as the video went on. Each comment was compounded by all the comments that preceded it. I can only imagine what that must feel like at the end of an entire day.
Men aren't entitled to a woman's time or attention. Just because you see her doesn't mean you get to interact with her. It's not rude to ignore rudeness.
Oow oow, perhaps in a situation where approaching a woman is expected, and you have a reason to approach her other than to say 'you're hot, I wanna fuck you.' Like for example if your at a party and a friend introduces you to someone because you share interests.
There's no irony, women want to be payed attention to…
Objectifying seems so cliche, however I think that's it. lol.
Here's the thing. In my experience, I NEVER, literally NEVER see men casually greet each other on the street unless they know each other. These men are throwing out seemingly harmless greetings in hopes you will turn and want to talk. Or they may just want a smile. Sorr,y but I only smile when I feel smiley, not…
Judging? There's a feeling that they are placing value on you and ranking you in some way. I completely agree, that appraisal doesn't do the feeling justice, but I'm not sure how else to put it.
I don't think appraising is the most appropriate word. Something more abrupt and vulgar is necessary, like sizing up.
Sometimes even just the appraising looks get to me. Men looking you up and down deciding whether they would fuck you, their eyes crawling all over your body uninvited. I'm not talking about a quick check-out, I'm talking about the ones who feel entitled to stare openly, and there are many. There are some days I wish I…
OMG that guy silently walking by her for 5 minutes. Blech! Gave me the chills.
I can claim no understanding of how my gender thinks this to be appropriate.
