When someone comments on my boobs (but you could substitute in dress for this example) sometimes I just look shocked/confused and look down at my cleavage and scream like I’ve only just noticed. I can’t remember where I got it from but I mainly used it at work followed by a long, long silence while they fumble around…

so much this.

that is a masterpiece of a comment.

right?! Finally some sense! I read the “best three” bit and I was just like

yup... eugh

This is such a beautiful event, thanks for sharing the joy.

flowerchld071 has already said all that I could possibly hope to say to you much more eloquently than I could put it, so all I’ll say is that I second it and I’m sending you a hug to say you’re not alone <3

I feel SOOOO much safer.

I actually have no idea? It’s probably really depressing but I hadn’t even considered it, that speaks volumes. It was a few years ago and I called his bluff a bit essentially- I started taking my top of in full view of everyone and he was essentially publicly embarrassed by fellow passengers’ stares and his…

I’ve been told to do all kinds of weird things, but my most absurd was to take my bra off...not my top. Not anything else, just specifically my bra. Yup he was a dude and I was a girl travelling alone, how did you know?

was just going to say pretty much exactly this. eugggh. Tbh I don’t think its that hard, I just think people are reluctant to face such an epidemic.
