  • I actually have a sincere appreciation for your fear, and discomfort in regards to this issue! I honestly find myself thinking I didn't give other people permission to think of me in such a way. Some people may not appreciate, or care for my way of thinking, but oh well. I recognize that my thinking about this issue is unreasonable, because I'm powerless over what other people think of me. I have honestly wished, especially when in a situation where I've been harassed in the workplace, that I wish I could be a shapeshifter, and change my appearance to something hideous, and terrifying whenever someone whose attention I don't appreciate stares at me, or harasses me.

    I feel like I'm going to get some hate for my comments, but it's just how I've always felt. I also would have loved to have turned myself into a gorgon whenever some jerks on the street would catcall me. I honestly feel a great deal of peace with being a middle aged woman now, because I feel like I get more respect. I don't know what kind of selfish, egotistical thinking fuels the sentiment that some people, especially men, but some women as well think that others should be flattered, or grateful for unwanted attention.

    I support you, and your point of view!

    • I respect your opinion, but nobody needs your (or anyone's) permission to think about anything. I don't believe in thought crimes.
