Imagine you're feeling good about how you look and having a good day, when someone stops you and says, "You should really wear a shorter skirt and show off those legs some more." Or, "That shirt is too baggy on you."
I think that's what she's saying, not just some advice on your hairstyle or something.
That's exactly what I'm talking about. Women have the right to just live their lives in public safely without being criticized for things that are nobody's business. This shouldn't be a statement that inspires a shitstorm of "It's not ALL men!" That's pretty much what's happened.
I don't need to, I've had that experience with the baggy shirt. Same with when I thought I styled my beard well, the way my hair was, and some pretty baggy trousers. I tend to strike up conversation with people making statements like that on why they don't think what I'm wearing or styled doesn't look too good and start talking about what does look good. I've gone through a ton of styles and the ones I like, I keep, even if people think it could be better with a bit of tweaking.
Never, ever said it was all cases. Never, not once. I'm saying women specifically, just like men, have the right to exist in public without being sexualized or interrupted from their lives because of what someone thinks about her appearance. And the comments on this post have been an explosion of "It's not ALL men!" I KNOW it's not all men, we all know it's not ALL men. I can't help feeling it's an excuse to disregard it as a real issue.
Seriously Guys..

The point is, saying that to someone is just rude and borderline harassment in some cases.

I'm sure in some cases, yeah, I can agree but not in all cases.
