I've had guys say 'yeah, well, WOMEN TO IT TOO' and I'm like in clubs maybe. But how many times has a man walked down the steet and been yelled at (or worse, grabbed) by women in cars or vans? How many times does a woman make a comment about a man's chest or arse or facial expression even as he happens to be walking past, minding his own business?
I think a lot of men either don't believe, or don't realise, that for many women this is a *weekly* occurrence, not every now and then in a club or at a bus stop on the way home after a nightclub when everyone it a bit lary.
It's on the way to work, going around sainsburies, just daily every day things.
Mark was really shocked when he realised how often it happened to me. Because, funnily enough, it never happens when he's around. Amazing, how being in the presence of a 6'2" chap stops the comments, isn't it?
